UNT business major receives scholarship

07:18 AM CST on Friday, November 9, 2007

Denton County Sheriff Benny Parkey presented a scholarship check to the child of a law enforcement officer Tuesday.

Matthew L. Edrington of Avery, a sophomore bus­iness major at the University of North Texas, was awarded a scholarship check of $500 from the Sher­iff’s Ass­ociation of Texas through its youth scholarship program.

He is the son of Linda and Robert L. Edrington, former sher­iff of Red River County.

The scholarships are awarded twice a year to eligible children or wards of Texas sheriff’s office employees or peace officers who are pursuing an academic degree at a college or university.

Parkey urges all law enforcement officers in Denton County with children in college to apply for the scholarships. Applications must be received by March 1 for the spring semester and by Oct. 15 for the fall semester.
