The Coy L. Sykes Memorial
Scholarship
This year, eight outstanding students will be recognized with the Coy L. Sykes
Memorial Scholarship at Our Heroes Luncheon on Tuesday, May 4, 2010.
The scholarship is a four year program awarded to children of law
enforcement and fire rescue personnel. The students are selected based
on their academic success and contributions to the community.
