This scholarship was created by the men and women of the Little Elm Police Officer’s Association in memory of Jerry R. Walker, who died on January 17, 2017.

Det. Walker was a United States Army veteran and later served the community of Little Elm, TX, as a Police Officer for 19 years. Part of his service was to Little Elm High School as a School Resource Officer. Through his stories and reports, Walker showed that he understood and connected with the youth of this community. At any given time, Walker would ‘pay it forward’ by giving advice to students and parents alike.

This scholarship is based on a servant’s heart, like Walker had. It is the hope of the Little Elm Police Officer's Association that the recipients of this scholarship will honor Detective Walker and this community by continuing that ‘Pay It Forward’ attitude.
