Scholarships are offered to “qualifying persons” and related children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and spouses. A qualifying person is someone who is an active member of CPOF for 12+ consecutive months before applying and is actively working or retired from the Corrections profession.

The number of scholarships awarded in a given year is based upon available funds, with award amounts approved by the CPOF Board of Directors.

Applicants must: Be a U.S citizen or legal non-citizen, be a full-time student, have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and have financial need. They must be enrolled in a 2-year or 4-year college, or training college, or certification program.

The CPOF scholarship is awarded based on merit and eligibility, and the number of awards is limited based on available funds and the judgment of the Board of Directors. Applying does not guarantee an award.

We would like to congratulate these individuals on earning 2024 Scholarships and we cannot wait to see your success!
