Indiana Sheriff’s Association offers scholarships

The Indiana Sheriff’s Association will be awarding college scholarships to qualified high school seniors or college students who are pursuing a degree in criminal justice studies. There will be approximately 40 scholarships of $750 awarded to qualifying students throughout the state.

The Indiana Sheriff’s Association Scholarship Fund was established for the purpose of receiving, investing and dispensing funds to provide college scholarships to qualified students who are committed to pursuing an education and career in the law enforcement field. “Our hope is that recipients will come back to their communities as the next generation of law enforcement,” said Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers.

To qualify for a scholarship, the applicant must be an Indiana resident, be a current member of the association or a dependent child or grandchild of a current member of the association, attend an Indiana college or university, major in a law enforcement field and enroll as a full-time student.

The scholarship application can be downloaded from the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association website at indianasheriffs.org.

Applications must be completed and received by ISA no later than April 1.
