Six high school seniors from around the Commonwealth were named recipients of the Virginia COPS Scholarship Competition Awards. At the IUPA Police Ball in Arlington, Virginia, Executive Director Chris Strope announced the the winners of the 1996 competition. With over 80 high school seniors participating, this year's competition proved very challenging. It was clear that students around Virginia care about both the quality of law enforcement they receive as well as the demands the job places on those who make it a career. The six recipients each receive a $1,000 scholarship for their college education. Without further ado:
Pamela Warren, First Colonial High School, Virginia Beach. Pam will attend Mount Holyoke College
Judith M. Kitchen, Osbourn Park Senior High School, Manassas. Judy will attend LSU.
