Scholarship applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 25 years old, as of the scholarship deadline.
Yes, although we are aware of the challenging reality of being publicly "out" at a young age. We will be sensitive to each individual's circumstances and would never "out" them if they were not comfortable with us doing so.
No, although you must be a Canadian citizen or permeant resident enrolled in a full time academic post-secondary program.
No commitment is required, but recipients must demonstrate their interest in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
