Eight Delaware Tech students enrolled in the College’s Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Option (LEO) program were recently awarded a total of $5,000 in scholarship monies by the Delaware Police Chiefs’ Foundation to assist in completing their education at Delaware Tech. All eight of the students expect to graduate in the spring and hope to become Delaware police officers.
Students were selected based upon research papers submitted to the foundation’s education committee. After the education committee’s review of the papers, which explored the latest in police technology, the foundation’s scholarship committee selected Ryan Lowe from the Stanton/George Campus as the first-place winner and recipient of a $1,250 scholarship. Scott Powell from the Owens Campus was the second-place honoree and received a $750 scholarship.
In addition, the following six students each received $500 scholarships: Myasia Jardine and Laura Vazquez from the Stanton/George Campus, Tyler Everett and Hanna Hinderer from the Terry Campus, and Brittyn Hubberd and Tyler Wood from the Owens Campus.
The scholarships were presented by Michael A. Terranova, Chairman of the Delaware Police Chiefs’ Foundation, during a December 4, 2015, ceremony on the Terry Campus.
The Law Enforcement Option Program is designed and offered in partnership with the Delaware State Police Training Academy, and provides the education and training to be a competitive applicant for the Delaware State Police or a municipal police agency. The degree offers the opportunity to increase students’ potential when participating in the hiring process for law enforcement positions.
The Delaware Police Chiefs’ Foundation was established in 1983 and is a non-profit organization working to increase public awareness, involvement, and support for the activities of the Delaware Police Chiefs’ Council. The Foundation also supports programs aimed at youth and by providing scholarships for students who are interested in attending college and pursuing a career in a Delaware law enforcement agency.
