The Wisconsin County Police Association developed an annual scholarship award program to offer financial assistance to full time students entering any college program, either four year or two, and in any field of study. Its purpose is to encourage educational growth for those in financial needs. The number of scholarships and dollar amounts, will be determined annually and winners will selected on a competitive basis.

The recipient must submit proof of his/her enrollment in the accredited college. Recipients must be enrolled for the fall semester of the current school year. There are no retroactive awards for semesters already completed. After the student has submitted proof of enrollment, a check will be given directly to the scholarship recipient.
The Wisconsin County Police Association has had a long history of serving the citizens of Wisconsin. The Association has always enjoyed the support of the citizenship and you have made this scholarship program possible. Through this awards program we hope that we can help develop future leaders for our counties. By our joint efforts we can continue to make Wisconsin counties the best place to live and raise our families.
