Scholarship Application :: FBI Dallas Citizens Academy Alumni Association

Welcome

The FBI Dallas Citizen Academy Alumni Association continues its tradition of providing two $2,000 scholarships to support those continuing their education at a college and/or university in the study field of law enforcement, and other related fields. They are offered to current high school seniors, college freshmen, or college sophomores, who are in good academic standing, demonstrate leadership, community service, are of good character, and are interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement/criminal justice. The FBI also hires individuals for a wide range of professional support roles (e.g., IT, finance, STEM, and human resources). We encourage any student who thinks they qualify to apply. Each $2,000 scholarship will be awarded and then paid in the fall to the student’s school they will be attending.
