The Leland R. Speed Scholarship for JROTC “Top Cadets” Fund provides annual scholarships to the Jackson Public Schools JROTC Overall Top Cadet and the Murrah High School JROTC Top Cadet.

The scholarship was established by Murrah High School graduate William VanDevender in honor of the late Leland R. Speed, a Jackson leader known for his service to Mississippi and his strong belief in education and leadership.

Speed had a particular respect for the JROTC program and the qualities it develops in students, including academic achievement, character and leadership. Through the scholarship, his legacy continues by recognizing outstanding cadets as they prepare for their next steps after high school.
