Police Academy Scholarships

Although a career in criminal justice can be rewarding, it can be difficult for a student to pay for an education in law enforcement. For this reason, many organizations offer scholarships to students who are pursuing a degree in law enforcement. Police academy scholarships come from a variety of sources, including national law enforcement organizations, local community foundations, and institutions of higher learning.
