The Brian Terry Scholar Program is a scholarship program established in honor of Brian Terry, a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed in the line of duty in 2010. This scholarship program is open to children of U.S. Border Patrol agents, as well as children of other law enforcement officers and public safety officials.
The Brian Terry Scholar Program is administered by the Brian Terry Foundation, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the memory of Brian Terry and supporting the families of fallen law enforcement officers. The scholarship provides financial support to recipients to help them pursue higher education and career goals.
The Brian Terry Scholar Program awards scholarships of up to $4,000 per year to eligible students. Applicants must be high school seniors or graduates who are planning to enroll or are currently enrolled in an accredited college, university, or vocational school. In addition to academic achievements, applicants are evaluated based on their community involvement, leadership qualities, and commitment to public service.
The Brian Terry Scholar Program is designed to support the educational aspirations of the children of law enforcement officers and public safety officials, and to honor the sacrifice of those who have given their lives for their communities.
