We are excited to announce that the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers’ Foundation (SCLEOF) will award $7,000 in Scholarships in 2017 to 3 graduating high school seniors, along with 3 FBI LEEDA Scholarships for officer. The SCLEOF is the training and educational subsidiary of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers’ Association (SCLEOA), South Carolina’s oldest and largest professional association.  SCLEOA has been the Voice of Law Enforcement in South Carolina since 1941.

The SCLEOF will award one $3,000 scholarship and two $2,000 scholarships to high school seniors in the coming year. One of the $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to the child of an SCLEOA member.

The SCLEOF will award 3 FBI LEEDA Scholarships in 2017 to SCLEOA Members. Further, the SCLEOF will pay the officer or department $200 towards travel cost to attend the 4 ½ day training. The value of each scholarship is $650 plus $200 in travel expenses.
