Grant Turner Memorial Scholarship

The Annapolis Open - Officer Grant Turner Memorial Baseball Tournament uses part of the proceeds to fund a scholarship in Grant Turner's name at South River High, Annapolis Sr. High, Arundel High, Glen Burnie High, Old Mill High, and Severna Park High Schools as well as for children of MDTAP Officers.
Grant graduated from South River High School where he played in a number of sports. Grant was not the star player but he was the one with the most heart who tried as hard as he could. Grant suffered from athletic asthma but this condition did not stop him from going out for sports he loved. This scholarship honors him by choosing the high school player, or sporting participant (such as a team manager), who exhibits the same perseverance and tenacity as Grant.
The scholarship is administered by Grant Turner Memorial Fund board of directors. For further information contact Mrs. Hirsch at South River High School and Mrs. Whitlock at Annapolis Sr. High School
