The Damascus Christian Education Foundation (DCEF) is now accepting applications for the Keaton Coffey Memorial Scholarship through April 15, 2024.
The Keaton Coffey Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2013 to honor the ultimate sacrifice Corporal Keaton Coffey gave in the service of his country while serving in Afghanistan as a military working dog handler.
