Indiana students interested in pursuing a degree in criminal justice studies are now eligible for a scholarship.

The Indiana Sheriff’s Association will again be awarding college scholarships to qualified high school seniors or college students.

To apply, students 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).

Sheriff Jeff Siegel says there will be approximately 40 $500 scholarships awarded to qualifying students.

To apply, pick up an application from your high school counselor or at the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center (26861 CR 26, Building A, Elkhart, IN).

The application can also be downloaded from the Indiana Sheriff’s Association website.

Applications must be completed and received by the association on or before April 1, 2020.
