Today, our Scholarship Spotlight is on Brylee, an FRCF & Devon Energy Scholar and graduate student at The University of Texas School of Law. The daughter of a Cedar Park Police Department sergeant, Brylee grew up with a deep respect for service and is now pursuing a legal career to make a difference. Recently, she was honored on the court at an Oklahoma City Thunder game alongside Justin Porter from Devon, recognizing her achievements as an FRCF Scholar. 💬 “This scholarship support has not only lightened my financial burden but has also given me the freedom to pursue my passions and invest in my future. I’m deeply grateful for this support, and I look forward to continuing my educational journey with renewed enthusiasm and dedication. Thank you FRCF & Devon for making a lasting impact on my life!” 📚 Support future scholars or apply online today: 1strcf.org/scholarship

We are continuing our #ScholarshipSpotlight series with Nicholas, an FRCF & CSX #PrideInService Scholar and freshman at the University of Michigan studying business. His father, a Detroit Police Department captain, dedicated over 31 years to protecting and serving his community. Tragically, he lost his life in the line of duty, leaving behind a legacy of courage and kindness. Now, Nicholas carries that legacy forward. Inspired by his father’s dedication, he strives for excellence both in and out of the classroom. 💬 “The traits I’ve learned from my father are always to do your best and treat others the way you want to be treated. It is heartbreaking that my father, who was one of my biggest supporters and motivator, is no longer with me in this world to witness my success...Despite his physical absence, I carry his memory with me, and I am determined to continue making him proud at every step of my journey.” You can help support scholars like Nicholas as they pursue their dreams. 👉 Donate today and invest in the future of first responder families. 🎓 Students: Don’t wait! Scholarship applications close on May 31: 1strcf.org/scholarship
