The Bryant Searcy Foundation Scholarship

Carrying on a Hero’s Legacy: The Bryant Searcy Foundation’s Mission

Sometimes, the strongest legacies are built not from tragedy, but from resilience and hope. That’s exactly the spirit behind the Bryant Searcy Foundation, led by founder Sherry Searcy. After losing her husband, Bryant Searcy, in the line of duty, Sherry turned heartbreak into action, helping young people pursue education and empowering the next generation.

Today, People Driven Credit Union proudly supports this mission, helping to keep Officer Searcy’s legacy alive while investing in our community’s future.

About the Bryant Searcy Foundation

Founded by Sherry Searcy, the Bryant Searcy Foundation was created in honor of her late husband, Officer Bryant Searcy, a dedicated public servant tragically lost in the line of duty. Sherry’s goal: transform a moment of heartbreak into a legacy of hope, opportunity, and empowerment for young people across Metro Detroit.

Each scholarship awarded isn’t just financial support — it’s a tribute to a life dedicated to service and community.

Honoring a Life of Service

Bryant Searcy lived by the values of service, compassion, and resilience. Through the foundation, those principles continue to shine. Sherry’s commitment ensures that his story doesn’t end with loss, but with new beginnings for students striving to reach their dreams.

Making an Impact through Education: Foundation Scholarships

The Foundation awards scholarships of up to $2,500 to students in the Metro Detroit area, helping to remove financial barriers to higher education. These scholarships don’t just change individual lives; they strengthen entire communities by opening doors that might otherwise remain closed.

Deadline Alert!
Students interested in applying for the Bryant Searcy Foundation Scholarship must submit their applications by May 23, 2025.

A Partnership to Empower Youth

As a longtime member of People Driven Credit Union, Sherry has always believed in the power of community. This year, in recognition of her efforts and in support of her mission, People Driven proudly presented the Bryant Searcy Foundation with a $1,000 donation.

It’s a small token of a much larger commitment — standing alongside those who make a difference.
