Do you or a fellow officer have a high school senior or college aged student? The WACOPS Youth Scholarship Application is now open through May 31st. Eligible students can submit their application and supporting materials through the online platform linked below. 

The Youth Scholarship Program was created to provide scholarship funds for member’s children who are in good academic standing and demonstrate excellence in their studies, extra-curricular activities, and community service. To be eligible, students must be a child of a current WACOPS member, between the ages of 17-21, and submit their high school graduation date or proof of a GED certificate. Up to 15 - $1,000 scholarship awards will be granted to students. Past WACOPS scholarship recipients are not eligible to apply. The scholarship may be used at any accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school upon proof of enrollment.
 
All completed applications will be given to the WACOPS Awards & Scholarship Committee for review. The committee will be considering factors that include the student's academic performance, extracurricular activity involvement, work & volunteer experience, future goals, and leadership capacity. Award winners will be announced in early July. If selected, each winner will be asked to submit one high quality photo for social media platforms and proof of enrollment or acceptance letter to their school of choice.
