The J. Edgar Hoover Foundation established the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation Leadership Scholarship in June 2016 to provide merit-based scholarships for students in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. It is the donor’s preference that this scholarship be awarded to students who intend to pursue a career in law enforcement and have demonstrated leadership qualities. The J. Edgar Hoover Foundation is committed to promoting good citizenship through the appreciation of our government in the United States. One of J. Edgar Hoover’s ideals was the committed belief in meritocracy through higher education.
Multiple scholarships ($1,500 each) will be awarded to high achieving CCJS rising juniors and seniors. Recipients will be chosen on the basis of demonstrated strength in CCJS coursework, merit, and leadership ability. Preference will be given to students who have an interest in and are eligible for law enforcement careers. Recipients of the scholarships will be recognized in the College’s annual Scholarship Recognition Program Booklet, shared with BSOS Donors.
