The family of Andy Nowacki has established the Andy Nowacki Memorial Scholarship Fund Endowment through the Lakeland Foundation in tribute to Andy, a US Marine Lance Cpl. and Grand River Police Officer who heroically gave his life for his country while protecting a convoy south of Baghdad, Iraq.

The family has since created its own 501C3 foundation, the Andy Nowacki Foundation, in order to further its mission of providing scholarships.  To this date, 18 scholarships have been awards and all recipients have been successful! 

The Andy Nowacki scholarship will be awarded to students who serve the public and who exemplify Andy's compassion for people, his passion for serving in law enforcement, and who, like Andy, demonstrate a positive attitude towards achieving worthwhile career and life goals.
The scholarship was initiated in memory of Andy, to be held in perpetuity, by The Lakeland Foundation at Lakeland Community College, located in Lake County- where Andy lived and worked.
Contributions to the scholarship fund may be mailed to The Andy Nowacki Foundation, PO Box 1869, Mentor, OH 44061-1869
