FOPA Scholarships

Besides supporting law enforcement, we are pleased to offer academic support to the children of law enforcement. Every year, the FOPA State Lodge of Ohio, Inc., proudly offers four-year scholarships to graduating High School Seniors. The number of scholarships awarded per year can vary. To be eligible, the applicant must have a parent or legal guardian who is a member in good standing of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, Inc.

The amount of each Scholarship will be $4,000.00 payable over a four-year period. A one-time award of $500.00 will be given to the first runner-up. Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of scholastic merit, economic need, and goals in life.

We encourage those eligible to submit the Scholarship Assistance Official Application Form, postmarked no later than May 1st of the year of application. Please refer to this document for further guidelines. Completed Scholarship Assistance Applications must be submitted to your local FOP/FOPA District Trustee, or:
