The Pat Spicer Memorial Scholarship Fund
Honoring a Legacy & Empowering Future Leaders
A Little History...
Sergeant Patricia Ann Hurst Spicer made history as one of New Bern’s first female officers and the first Black female officer to serve her community with excellence, compassion, and strength.
After 23 years of service with the New Bern Police Department, she retired as a Sergeant, but her passion for youth empowerment never ceased. She led programs such as D.A.R.E. and created Youth Awareness Day to inspire young people to dream bigger and reach greater heights.
The Pat Spicer Memorial Scholarship Fund carries her legacy forward, investing directly in the next generation of leaders, scholars, and change-makers.
With your monthly partnership, we can continue her mission. Every dollar helps fund tuition, books, mentorship programs, and leadership development opportunities for deserving students.
Join us today and be part of this lasting legacy.
