MSPOA has two scholarship opportunities:

MSPOA Merit Based Scholarship

This is our traditional scholarship.  MSPOA awards two scholarships of $1500 each, to either a graduating high school senior OR a current college student.  The student must have the intention of pursuing a career in LOCAL law enforcement.  The scholarship is merit based.

Online Application will be available in January 2026.

MSPOA Scholarship for Children of MSPOA Members

This scholarship opportunity is for children of MSPOA members. There are five (5) scholarships of $1000 each, awarded to children whose parent is an MSPOA Member in good standing.  The recipients will be randomly chosen and are not merit based.  This is a small way for the board to support members.

Online Application will be available in January 2026.

The deadline for both types of scholarship applications is April 15, 2026.
