The Indiana Sheriff’s Association is awarding college scholarships to qualified high school seniors or college students who are pursuing a degree in criminal justice.
There will be about 40 of the $750 scholarships awarded to qualifying students throughout the state.
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 (12 hours).
If students do not meet the membership requirement, membership information is included in the application packet.
Applications needed to apply for the scholarships are available from high school counselors or the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department front desk during regular business hours. The scholarship application can also be downloaded from the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association website: indianasheriffs.org
Applications must be completed and received no later than April 1.
