The Scholarship

Details

    The Deborah Bliese Memorial Law Enforcement Scholarship was set up to provide at least one $1,000 scholarship every year to an incoming freshman in the Criminal Justice Department at Sam Houston State University. If the student graduated from Magnolia High School, in Magnolia, Texas, he or she will be given priority for the scholarship as this is where Debbie graduated from high school. A 3.0 GPA is required. Contact Sam Houston State University for the full requirements of the scholarship and how to apply. If enough money is raised, there is the possibility of more than one scholarship being awarded, as in the past few years.
