The Scott Michael Heilman, Jr. Scholarship Fund

About Scott Michael Heilman, Jr.

Scott was born in 1988 in Pt. Pleasant, NJ, graduating from Toms River High School North in 2006. He attended the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. Scott graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy in 2010 at which time he took his commission in the United States Marine Corps as Second Lieutenant.

He completed The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia, in June 2011. Following his dream of becoming a Marine aviator and serve his country, Scott had just begun Marine flight training in Pensacola, Florida.

From a young age, Scott enjoyed swimming, setting records in OceanCounty at Toms River North and at the college level at Kings Point and had competed nationally. For years he was an ocean lifeguard with Long Beach Township Beach Patrol.

With Scott it has never been about accolades. It was always about doing the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. Scott was never looking for personal gain or high-paying jobs. He was a true leader, always the motivational rallying point, driving the group to succeed. Scott was an extraordinary young man, a positive role model, a conscientious student, a great friend, caring son, loving brother and a true Marine; Semper Fidelis.

We will miss Scott but we will also miss seeing the actualization of his potential. It is hoped this scholarship will keep his altruistic nature alive not only in memories of those who knew and loved him but through the help it affords those who demonstrate a similar passion to lead and to serve others.
