Marshall County Sheriff Matthew Hassel announced that the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association will once again award college scholarships to qualified high school seniors or college students pursuing a degree in criminal justice studies. Approximately 40 scholarships, each worth $750, will be awarded to qualifying students across the state.

The Indiana Sheriffs’ Association Scholarship Fund was established to receive, invest, and distribute funds to provide scholarships for students dedicated to pursuing an education and career in law enforcement.

To qualify for one of these scholarships, applicants must be Indiana residents, current members of the association, or dependent children or grandchildren of current members. They must also attend an Indiana college or university, major in a law enforcement field, and enroll as full-time students (12 hours).

Applications for the scholarships are available from high school counselors or the sheriff’s office. The scholarship application can also be downloaded from the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association website: www.indianasheriff.org. Completed applications must be received by the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association on or before April 1.
