About the Martin Eagan Scholarship

Martin “Marty” Eagan is a lifelong advocate for education, mentorship, and community upliftment. His commitment to making a difference has inspired countless individuals, and now, through the Martin Eagan Scholarship, he is creating new opportunities for students who aspire to serve and lead in the field of criminal justice.

With a strong belief in the value of learning and personal growth, Marty launched this scholarship to empower students who are passionate about making their communities safer, fairer, and more just. The scholarship provides a $1,000 annual award to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in criminal justice or related public service fields.

Marty understands that behind every great leader is a foundation built on education and character. That’s why the scholarship doesn’t just recognize academic success—it honors students who demonstrate integrity, purpose, and a drive to positively impact the justice system.

Rooted in his New Jersey upbringing and shaped by years of community involvement, Marty’s dedication to service extends far beyond the classroom. From mentoring youth to supporting local volunteer programs, he has always believed in lifting others as a way of building stronger, more compassionate communities.

The Martin Eagan Scholarship is more than financial support—it’s an investment in tomorrow’s changemakers. Marty hopes to inspire the next generation of law enforcement professionals, public defenders, advocates, and policy leaders to lead with empathy and uphold justice with accountability.

By helping students overcome financial barriers, Martin Eagan continues his lifelong mission to open doors, strengthen communities, and support a more equitable future for all.
