Memorial Scholarship

Southern Honors Sgt. Cory Maynard with a scholarship

Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College have established a memorial scholarship in honor of Sgt. Cory Maynard.

The funds from this scholarship will go to first responders and their family members to assist with educational expenses at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College.

“The loss of any law enforcement officer is a great tragedy, but when it’s someone from your area, it makes it even ten times harder,” Dr. Pamela L. Alderman, President at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, said.“We talked about what we could do to honor Sgt. Maynard’s legacy, everything he did for the Williamson community and Southern West Virginia — and we decided the best thing we could do to honor him is establish a scholarship for the children of first responders, law enforcement, and those on the front lines every day.”

This opportunity, Alderman says, will help pave the way for future generations.

Anyone is welcome to donate.
