Hoosiers who volunteer with a public safety organization may be able to get some help paying for college. Applications are now available for the Secure Indiana Scholarship Program from the Indiana Homeland Security Foundation.
Full-time students are eligible for up to $2,000, while part-time students can get a $1,000 scholarship. Thirteen students will be selected.
To qualify, applicants must attend or plan on attending an accredited Indiana college, have a grade point average of at least 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, and be a volunteer with a public safety organization like a fire department, emergency management agency, law enforcement agency or emergency medical service.
The scholarships are funded by the sale of “Secure Indiana” license plates. The deadline to apply is July 15, 2016. More information can be found on the Indiana Department of Homeland Security website.
