Sgt. J.J. Sturm Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship fund has been created in the memory of J.J. Sturm, a retired sergeant from the Greensboro, N.C. Police Department at the time of his death in 2019. Sgt. Sturm’s career spanned 28 years, some of which he was able to share with his son. Together, their commitment to Catholic education and the law enforcement profession were foundational in the creation of this scholarship.

Preference for the annual scholarship award of $1,000 will be given to a current Belmont Abbey College student who is the son or daughter of active or retired law enforcement officer(s) and majoring in Criminal Justice. Others may be eligible including the son/daughter of active/retired law enforcement in another major, or a current Criminal Justice major planning to pursue a career in law enforcement.
