Scholarship Created In Memory Of Fallen Officer

Indiana University of Pennsylvania honored an alumni killed in Pittsburgh’s police tragedy two years ago.

The university created the "Officer Stephen Mayhle Scholarship Fund."

Mayhle is a graduate of IUP's criminology department.

The scholarship will go to a student who lost a family member serving in the line of duty as a police officer.

Mayhle's wife said the scholarship was a fitting tribute.

"To have this put in place so every year he can be honored once again. It's very rewarding for us as a family," Shandra Mayhle said.

The first endowed scholarship will be awarded next year.

Pittsburgh police officers Eric Kelly and Paul Sciullo also lost their lives in the Stanton Heights shootout.
