The Riley County Police Department is proud to announce the recipient of the 2015 annual RCPD Scholarship Award. Alexis McCormick, the daughter of Lt. Mark French, was awarded this $500.00 scholarship in May of this year after a selection process conducted throughout the spring. She will be attending Kansas State University in the fall. You may have heard McCormick on KMAN previously, as she job shadowed last year.
To qualify for this scholarship, applicants must be the dependent son or daughter of an active, full-time RCPD employee and accepted or currently enrolled as a full-time student at the undergraduate or graduate level. This scholarship is made possible by the donations of RCPD employees, the Riley County Police Department Employee Fund, as well as donations from the general public. RCPD is proud to have the ability to assist scholarship recipients with a portion of what it may cost them to attend an institution of higher learning.
“I want to congratulate Alexis for being this year’s recipient and wish her the best of luck at Kansas State University this fall.” – Director Bradley Schoen.
