PFRA congratulates Madison Poe, Cole Campbell, and Tionne Stubblefield, who are the 2017 PFRA Scholarship Award recipients.
The PFRA application review committee had a very difficult time being able to select only three recipients as the entire pool of candidates were all outstanding. The committee sends their appreciation to everyone who submitted an application and we know all these students will have a very successful education and career ahead of them.
Madison Poe is the daughter of Steve Poe, Battalion Chief at Station 12. She will be attending Texas A&M in the fall, majoring in Political Science and continuing onto Law School to eventually become a family lawyer. She plans to open her own non-profit legal practice to give priority to children who are victims of verbal and emotional abuse committed by their parents. Madison was a straight A honors student while taking 7 Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and was awarded as an AP Scholar with Distinction in 2016. In addition to academics, Madison is also active in cheerleading and dance, where she also has won numerous top-place awards from competitions throughout her high school years. Congratulations Madison!
