  • As an applicant for an FSA scholarship, I hereby certify that:

    1. I am presently in good health and know of no physical or psychological limitation I have that would prevent my full participation in a police, corrections or related career.

    2. I know of no reason the school or college listed above would not accept me as a full- time student in the Fall, 2025.

    3. I certify the accuracy and truthfulness of the facts contained in this application.

    4. I understand that this scholarship is a one-time award that is limited to $2,000, and should I win the award, that the check will be made payable only to the regionally accredited college or university of my choosing, and placed in an account bearing my name. I further understand that I will be allowed to draw against that account for full-time tuition and book expenses only, until the account balance is exhausted.

    5. I understand that funding beyond this $2,000 award is not expressed, implied or expected, and that all unused scholarship money which remain on account for me in an "inactive" status for 12 months or more, will revert to the Florida Sheriffs Association.

    6. I understand that the balance of my college expenses (tuition, books, lodging, etc.) above the sum of $2,000 are my responsibility, and not the responsibility of the Florida Sheriffs Association.

    7. I hereby grant the Florida Sheriffs Association permission to use photos of me in the event I am chosen as a recipient of one of their scholarships for use in promotional materials, including but not limited to website www.flsheriffs.org, in news releases, on social media networks including www.facebook.com/floridasheriffsassociation, and in any other promotional materials they so choose. I waive the right to inspect or approve the finished product.

    8. I agree to hold the Florida Sheriffs Association and its employees, contractors, agents, and representatives harmless from any liability to others from the use of anything I may say or do during said photography.
