SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – The Utah Sheriffs Association has awarded 26 scholarships to students across 11 Utah counties who are enrolled or planning to enroll in law enforcement or criminal justice programs at accredited colleges or universities.
Scholarship applications were reviewed and recommended by county sheriffs, with final selections made by the Utah Sheriffs Association Executive Committee. Recipients represent the following Utah counties: Beaver, Carbon, Davis, Garfield, Iron, Juab, Millard, Piute, Salt Lake, Tooele and Weber.
The scholarship program, established in 1986, is one component of the association’s broader commitment to providing high-quality training and professional development within the law enforcement community. Supporting education has long been a priority of the Utah Sheriffs Association, which views this initiative as an investment in the future of public safety across the state.
“Our association places a strong emphasis on continuous education and training,” said Kane County Sheriff Tracy Glover, president of the Utah Sheriffs Association. “These scholarships give driven, deserving individuals the opportunity to turn their passion into a profession, while also preparing the next generation of law enforcement leaders to serve with integrity and protect our communities with confidence.”
The association expressed special thanks to its Honorary Members—individuals, families, and businesses from across the state who support the association through annual contributions. Their ongoing generosity directly funds programs like the scholarship initiative, training opportunities, public safety outreach, and other resources that enhance the ability of Utah sheriffs to serve their communities.
“Without the support of our Honorary Members, programs like this would not be possible,” said Sheriff Glover. “Their commitment plays a vital role in helping us promote professionalism, preparedness and excellence across the law enforcement profession.”
