The Central Texas Area of Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs Association is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for the 2025 Fall Semester. The children of active peace officers and telecommunications officers of CTACPSA agencies and those active peace officers and telecommunications officers who work for CTACPSA agencies are eligible to apply for a scholarship. Starting this year, vocational studies will also be considered for scholarships.
Attached is the scholarship application, which is also available on the CTACPSA website. Those interested in applying should complete the application, then pass it on to you. We ask that you review each application and provide a written recommendation based on your knowledge of the applicant’s merit and educational motivation.
The Scholarship Committee will give preference to applications in the order listed below. In addition, as proceeds directed to scholarships can fluctuate year to year, the Committee may make recommendations for full or partial awards. There may be occasions where, due to the number of applicants, not all qualifying applicants can be awarded a scholarship.
1. Graduating seniors making first application
2. Active peace officers and communications officers
3. Returning or continuing students
4. Graduate students
Completed applications and agency head endorsements must be sent by mail or email to:
