Sheriff Offering Scholarships

College scholarships are available from both the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association and the National Sheriffs' Association.

The North Carolina Sheriffs' Association offers ten college scholarships each semester to North Carolina residents who are full-time undergraduate students majoring in criminal justice, one for each college that offers a criminal justice program in the University of North Carolina System. Applicants must get a letter of support from their home county Sheriff.

Recipients of the scholarship are chosen by the financial aid office at the constituent institution of the University of North Carolina System that the student plans to attend or is currently attending. Applications are available from the school's financial aid office, and after completion, should be returned to the school's financial aid office. Additional information is available through the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association website at: www.ncsheriffs.org/scholar.htm


The National Sheriffs' Association deadline is April 1st to apply for scholarships from the National Sheriffs' Association . Details about the selection criteria and the process for submitting an application are available from the National Sheriffs' Association website located at: www.sheriffs.org/about/Scholarships.asp
