One of the goals of the CAHP Foundation is to provide financial
assistance to the financially-dependent, college-age children of
a qualified California Highway Patrol officer and, specific to
the one of the scholarships, the financially-dependent,
college-age children of any active, retired or deceased
California peace officer. By making these grants available, the
Foundation strives to encourage college-age law enforcement
dependents to pursue academic programs at post-secondary
educational institutions.
The application deadline for the 2023/2024 academic year has
passed. Scholarship winners will be announced in the fall.
