The Officer Grant Turner Memorial Scholarship Fund
Grant loved sports and played many, but baseball was his passion, and while in high school he became an umpire with the Maryland Diamond Umpire Association. In 2005, Grant Turner joined the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. Grant passed away just five weeks before graduation.
The Officer Grant Turner Memorial Scholarship Fund was later established and hosts one of the largest preseason baseball tournaments in the state. Proceeds from the tournament are used to provide seven scholarships to students graduating from Anne Arundel County High Schools -- Annapolis High School, Arundel High School, Chesapeake High School, Glen Burnie High School, Old Mill High School, Severna Park High School and South River High School. In addition, scholarships are awarded to a dependent of the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Department and the Maryland Diamond/Anne Arundel County Umpires Association.
The deadline for nominations is April 6, 2018. For more details about nominating a student please email jan@cfaac.org.
