Kevin Carroll Scholarship for Excellence:
This scholarship is the most prestigious of AFCEA Belvoir’s annual scholarship awards as it honors a person who embodied the essence of service and leadership to the government and AFCEA. Kevin was not only a senior leader within the government, but also a leader within the AFCEA Belvoir family. He was one of the most influential advocates for bringing government, industry, and academia together which is the core of the AFCEA mission. Kevin’s belief in the AFCEA mission and vision were driving forces for the creation in 2003 of what has become one of the Army’s premier annual gatherings of government, industry, and academia to facilitate information sharing. The annual event instantly became a must attend event and the primary fundraising source for AFCEA Belvoir’s scholarship program. Kevin’s service, leadership, mentoring, sense of duty, humility, humor, and desire to innovate and help others are just some of the cherished traits that defined him every day and that he instilled in others.
The Kevin Carroll Scholarship for Excellence is intended to award college Juniors who continue to demonstrate a commitment to their education and whose vision of their future aligns to the sense of service and change for the greater good that is reflected in the traits and values of Kevin.
