Matthew Pavelka Scholarship Fund
|
 |
The Burbank Police Officers' Foundation Matthew Pavelka Scholarship Fund was established after Officer Matthew Pavelka was tragically murdered on November 15, 2003, and Officer Greg Campbell was gravely wounded. In that one instance of brutal gun violence, an entire community was devastated. Less than 24 hours after the incident, our community's unbelieveable generosity began to pour in. The businesses and residents of Burbank, and the surrounding communities' kindness and support was overwhelming. The Burbank Police Officers' Foundation established a fund for the donations. The Foundation is pleased to announce the Matthew Pavelka Scholarship to be awarded in June 2011, for the Academic Year 2011-2012. |
| The rules for eligibility for the Matthew Pavelka Scholarship Award of the Burbank Police Officers' Foundation, state that an applicant must have applied, or is about to apply for admission to an accredited college or university, as a fully matriculated student to pursue a four year degree in secondary education. Applicant must be a graduating high school senior from Burbank High School, John Burroughs High School, Monterey High School, Providence High School and Bellarmine-Jefferson High School, a daughter/son in good standing of the Burbank Police Officers' Association. Six Scholarships will be awarded, one to each of the above, in the amount of $500.00 |
The purpose of the Matthew Pavelka Scholarship is to provide
an award for high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding effort to pursue a vocational goal, to motivate students to dedicate themselves more thoroughly and responsibly to their education or training, and to encourage students to strive for excellence and distinction in what ever they undertake. There was never a question as to the career path that Officer Matthew Pavelka would follow. After high school he joined the Air Force, only because he was too young to enroll in the police academy. He served for five years as a military policeman, received an associate of arts degree in criminal justice, and was intent on further pursuing his education in his chosen field. |
