The Parsons Police Legacy Fund is expanding its support for local college students.

The organization makes an additional $5,000 donation to the Labette Community College Foundation for its Legacy in Leadership Endowed Scholarship. The contribution brings the fund’s direct investment to $10,000. A 50% match through the Hughes Family Grant increases the scholarship endowment to $15,000. Parsons Police Chief Robert Spinks says the scholarship reflects the Legacy Fund’s goal of investing in young people and strengthening the community’s future.

LCC criminal justice major Natalie McIntosh is selected as the first recipient of the scholarship. The program supports students interested in leadership, community service, criminal justice and law enforcement. Funding comes from community donations and proceeds from the annual Guardians of the Greens Charity Golf Tournament.
