PORAC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
PEACE OFFICERS RELIEF AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION (POREF) – PORAC SCHOLARSHIP
2021 POREF Scholarship Grant Application – NOW OPEN
2021 Application Deadline: Friday, March 5 by 5:00 p.m.
In 1980, PORAC formed a separate nonprofit public benefit corporation for educational and training purposes. This foundation is the Peace Officers Relief and Education Foundation (POREF). One of the main functions of the Foundation is the sponsorship of a Scholarship Program.
The Scholarship Program is part of PORAC’s ongoing effort to improve the quality of the law enforcement profession in California. The Scholarship Program was developed from PORAC’s strong sense of commitment to individual communities and the PORAC members who serve those communities.
The funding for the POREF Scholarship Program comes from PORAC members, member associations, the general public, and corporate sponsors. Scholarships are not restricted upon the applicant’s field of endeavor. However, it is our hope that this scholarship will encourage young people to give serious consideration to the field of law enforcement as a career.
The Scholarship Program is administered by a committee comprised of volunteer members representing the four regions of PORAC. Appointed by PORAC’s president, the Committee is responsible for soliciting contributions to the Fund, enlisting applicants, awarding scholarships and monitoring the program.
