4TH ANNUAL USPP Foundation SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
Congratulations to the 2024 winners!
We are happy to announce the winners of the 2024 United States Park Police Foundation (USPPF) Scholarship Award. Our USPPF Scholarship Committee (consisting of three outside professionals – not associated with USPP) reviewed blind copies of applications. It is challenging to pare down the applicant pool as each student is outstanding in their special way. However, our committee narrowed it down to seven students to receive scholarships. These funds are to be used for their post-secondary education. All applicants who applied had impressive academic and extra-curricular credentials and are to be commended for their achievements. We wish all these students the very best in their future careers.
