Founded by Greg’s mother, Susan Best, and brother, Joshua Troy, to provide scholarships for children and dependents of active and retired Frederick City and County police officers pursuing careers in law enforcement.

A 1998 graduate of Middletown High School, Gregory Joseph Troy attended University of Maryland and went on to work in the finance and internet technology field. At age 27, he decided to pursue a career in law enforcement with the Baltimore County Police Department. While he was waiting for his security clearance, Mr. Troy became ill and was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Mr. Troy passed away at the age of 30. He was the husband of Antionette Messina Troy and son of the late Lawrence Joseph Troy and Susan Troy Best. Though his career in law enforcement was never realized, Mr. Troy will help others achieve that goal.
