Charles Coop scholarship

Sergeant Major Roy Coop, U.S. Army-Retired, has created the Charles Coop Scholarship in memory of his brother, who was a Vietnam Veteran.

The scholarship will be awarded to the graduating senior who has completed four years of science courses and has achieved the highest grade point average in these courses. Upon graduating from high school, the selected student will receive a check for $5,000.

This scholarship will begin in 2014 and continue until 2018.

The purpose of this financial award is to encourage students to pursue careers in various fields of science and to assist with first year college expenses.
