San Diego County Deputy Sheriff’s Foundation
Memorial Scholarships
The San Diego County Deputy Sheriffs’ Foundation scholarship program was created in 2010 after Deputy Ken Collier was tragically killed in a traffic accident in the line of duty. Though Collier’s untimely passing was not the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s first or only loss, the tragic event served as a poignant reminder of our duty to remember and honor the lives of our fallen.
This year, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Foundation will award four scholarships to Class 1 Active DSA members, and eleven scholarships to the dependents of Class 1 Active or Retired DSA members.
