First Law Enforcement Scholarship Winner Graduates

C. David Smith, the first recipient of a Grand Master's Law Enforcement Scholarship, graduated from Shippensburg University on May 11 with a degree in Police Science. He is the son of Bro. Charles D. Smith, Cromwell Lodge No. 572, Orbisonia.

The Pennsylvania Masonic Foundation for Children began awarding the Scholarship of $2,500 a year for four years in 1998 when then-R.W. Grand Master James L. Ernette, a retired state trooper, sought to aid youth who desire to follow a career in law enforcement. Since then, the Foundation has awarded eight scholarships to youth throughout the Commonwealth who have a Masonic affiliation.
