High School graduates in Covington are eligible to apply for a $500 scholarship from Covington’s police union, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1, to fund their college educations until July 1.
The stories all of NKY will be talking about, delivered to your inbox each weekday morning.
“The FOP is proud to continue the tradition of helping to support the community with this scholarship as we invest in the future of Covington through encouraging the development of tomorrow’s leaders,” said Covington Police Officer Douglas Ullrich in a city press release. “We look forward to learning about some of the truly exceptional youth in Covington as we go through their applications.”
Any upcoming high school graduate living in Covington, regardless of district or school, can apply for the competitive scholarship, called the Fallen Officer Scholarship, by filling out an application and submitting an original, unpublished essay answering the question, “What does Covington mean to me?”
Students listed as dependents of a member of the FOP Lodge #1 are also eligible to apply. Applications are available in both English and Spanish.
Direct questions and request an application by emailing CovingtonFOPScholarship@gmail.com. Completed applications and essays can be sent to that email address or mailed to FOP Scholarship, 516 E. 18th St., Covington, KY 41014. The deadline to apply is July 1.
