Jeriad Paul Jacobs Memorial Scholarship

The Donors wish to honor the memory of their son by establishing the Jeriad Paul Jacobs Endowed Memorial Scholarship. Jeriad was a brave, modern-day Indian warrior who died in Iraq while serving his country as a member of the US Marine Corps. He possessed a number of passions, two of which were his family and his American Indian heritage. Jeriad was a poet who, in his brief 19 years, wrote numerous poems that expressed yet another true passion-life. Even though he loved his “Indian people,” Jeriad also believed in loving and helping all people. Candidates for award of this scholarship shall be members of a state- or federally-recognized American Indian tribe and residents of Robeson County, North Carolina. Candidates must show demonstrated financial need and must be full-time undergraduate students in any year of study and maintaining at least the minimum university standard GPA. There is no restriction to major or field of study.
