PURPOSE: The SCCA Scholarship Awards Program is designed to financially assist qualified applicants entering, or already attending, an accredited college or university education program.
SPECIAL THANKS: SCCA expresses sincere thanks to Ken McKellar for a memorial scholarship in memory of his father and uncle to be awarded again this year.
PROCESS: Each year a number of individuals will be selected to receive an SCCA scholarship award. All application forms must be completed and forwarded to the Chair of the Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship Committee will screen these applications, and the successful recipients will be notified in writing. Only complete packages with official transcript submitted by the September 15th deadline will be considered.
AWARD/AMOUNT: The amount of this year’s scholarship is $1,000 per recipient as approved by the SCCA Board. The recipients of SCCA scholarships will be announced at the annual Criminal Justice Conference Awards Banquet in November. Funds will be mailed directly to recipient’s accredited school for student tuition and related academic expenses. The total number of scholarships to be awarded will be determined at a later date.
