This year Matt Ward Memorial scholarships were awarded to two seniors, Brittany Rosete and Aylin Alfaro both interested in criminal justice related careers.

Brittany Rosete, a Cypress Explorer was awarded her scholarship at the Cypress High School awards night by District Attorney Investigator, Deanna Hartman and supported by several others from the Cypress Police Department. Brittany’s desire to be of service to others and demonstration of her ability to be a mentor and leader contributed to her selection for this award.
