Lori Eville
Memorial Scholarship
NAPSA began awarding scholarships to attend the annual conference in 1987. The purpose of the award is to allow qualified individuals, who are otherwise unable, to attend the conference and return to their programs to put their newly acquired knowledge into action.
In 2021, NAPSA and the pretrial field lost a friend and colleague. Lori Eville was a Corrections Specialist at the National Institute of Corrections. She was an incredible pretrial leader and advocate for training and education. The NAPSA Board voted to continue the scholarship program in memory of Lori Eville.
