Question 3

How do I know if I'm eligible for a scholarship?

Accepted Answer

Each scholarship will have different eligibility requirements, so it's important to closely read the scholarship description to avoid applying for scholarships you won't be considered for.

Some scholarships for law enforcement require that students be studying a particular field like criminal justice, law, or federal law enforcement. Others may be exclusively for people already involved in police work or police administration. Others, still, welcome anyone with a passion for public service and related ambitions. Some scholarship programs award students based on a writing submission, while others may require you to attend a particular university or demonstrate academic achievement.
