Honoring Their Journey: More CPOF Scholarship Recipients

Each year, the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation is honored to support not only the children of fallen correctional staff, but also the children, grandchildren, spouses—and in some cases, the staff themselves—through our scholarship program. These awards are more than just financial support; they are a reflection of our unwavering commitment to the families who serve and sacrifice in the corrections profession.

We are proud to introduce more of this year’s inspiring recipients. Their stories embody resilience, determination, and the legacy of service passed down through generations. It is a privilege to walk alongside them as they pursue their dreams and carry forward the spirit of those they honor.

I want to thank CPOF for the scholarship that was given to me this past week. I am honored to have been selected for this award.
The money will help pay for books and parking fees this year, and I am grateful for the support as I begin my studies at the University of South Carolina.

Thank you again for this wonderful gift.
Sincerely yours,
