FOP Scholarship Information

Once again it is time to consider applying for those scholarships. The New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police is offering a Scholarship Assistance Program.

All members are reminded that you must be a parent or guardian in good standing of the New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police. Also be aware that the applicant MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN MARCH 1st OF THE YEAR OF APPLICATION.

In order to apply for the Scholarship Assistance Program, you must contact the state office directly and an application will be mailed to you.

The awards were based on scholastic merit, economic need, and the applicant's stated goals in life. Each applicant supplied high school transcripts. They were not required to be law enforcement hopefuls, but had to pledge to complete all four years of college study.

State Secretary Wayne Winkler and his two committee members, Robert Fox, Cherry Hill Lodge #28 Steve Demofonte, South Jersey Lodge #56, acted as judges in the competition. To keep the process anonymous, each candidate was assigned a number so that names and other identifying information were unknown during the judging.

The six recipients now must maintain at least a C average in order to retain the year-to-year scholarship. Their grades must be submitted to the committee at least once a year. We congratulate these individuals and wish them luck in their future endeavors.
