Campbell Savage daughter of Brian Savage and Kelly Evans of Skaneateles was awarded the Skaneateles Police Chief George E. Davis Memorial Scholarship Award at the 2023 Skaneateles High School commencement ceremony.
Savage plans to attend Oswego State University majoring in criminal justice, and a minor of chemistry with the hopes to have a career in criminal law of forensics.
During her high school years at Skaneateles, Campbell had played on the Skaneateles Lakers soccer team and she is employed at Rosalie’s Cucina.
The scholarship is awarded each year to a graduating senior who is the son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter of a police officer and/or is pursuing a career in law enforcement or in public service sector, as well as one that demonstrates leadership and displays citizenship.
Savage’s uncle Donald is a New York State trooper,
Her grandfather Don first started his career in law enforcement with the DeWitt Police Department and then transferred to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department.
Her extended family of uncles were a Skaneateles Police officer and FBI agent. They have all served by volunteering their local fire departments and communities as well.
For the second time ever awarding this scholarship, all of her uncles and grandfather were friends with Davis.
The Davis family believes that by establishing this memorial scholarship fund, the memory and legacy of Davis will remain in hearts and minds year after year.
They were very pleased to award this year’s scholarship to Savage because she displays kindness and caring to other and many of those qualities such as Davis showed his community all the years he served as chief of police.
