Missouri has launched a new $1 million “Missouri Blue Scholarship” fund, which pays $5,000 toward the cost of a Missouri resident attending a law enforcement academy in the state, to attract more people to law enforcement careers and address officer shortages in law enforcement agencies throughout the state, reports Lake Expo.
The scholarships are available until all available funding is utilized for applicants who intend to be commissioned as law enforcement officers upon academy graduation. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and Missouri residents attending or planning to enter a law enforcement academy. Missouri Blue Scholarships are paid directly to the law enforcement academy after completion of eight weeks of training.
