The Officer Bernard F. Parson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in
Bernard's name by his family shortly after his death to memorialize
Bernard in an honorable and respectful manner. We want to ensure Bernard's
name lives on and everyone remembers the supreme service he gave to the
University of Texas at Dallas. The Scholarship will be awarded once a
year in the amount of $500.
Bernard served with The University of Texas at Dallas Police Department
from February 1, 2001 to May 25, 2003 . Bernard's love for his family was
one of his finest attributes that he will always be remembered for.
Bernard's service and dedication to his community in Cedar Hill and at the
University of Texas at Dallas was never-ending. Bernard was known at the
University for his contagious smile and his rapport with those he served
and served with. We believe, as Bernard believed, that young people
further themselves and society through education.
The Bernard F. Parson Scholarship is open to all students who have been
accepted to and enrolled at, The University of Texas at Dallas. The award
will give primary consideration to the applicant's scores on standardized
tests and scholastic records, both evaluating the type and nature of
courses taken and the grades achieved in specific courses. The committee
may also consider and give positive weight to such factors as the
following in designating recipients:
- achievements in work experiences
- community service
- extracurricular activities; leadership
- surmounting obstacles to the further pursuit of higher education
- socioeconomic background
- educational level
- status as a first generation college student
