 The first KYASRO scholarship was awarded in 2010 and renamed the "James Sticklen Memorial Scholarship" in 2011. Officer Sticklen was an active member of the KYASRO Board of Directors who died in the line of duty during training in March 2011. James "Stumpy" Sticklen joined the Alexandria Police Department in 1992 and became a beloved figure in area schools, where he worked as a school resource officer for nine years. The KYASRO Association is privileged to honor Stumpy's memory with this annual scholarship. Scholarship guidelines and applications will be available in December 2011 and the scholarships will be announced prior to the June 2012 KY Safe Schools and Communities Conference in Bowling Green, Kentucky where the scholarships will be presented.
