Scholarships
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Each spring, the Fresno County Deputy Probation Officers Assocation (FCDPOA) awards four $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors who are relatives of its members.
These scholarships are awarded to support the educational aspirations of students who have a familial connection to the FCDPOA organization. The selection process is rigorous, taking into account not only academic merit but also extracurricular activities, community involvement, and personal goals.
The scholarships not only provide financial assistance but also serve as a testament to the organization's commitment to supporting the next generation of scholars within their community.
Scholarship application opening and due dates are announced in February. Applications must be submitted by mail.
