Scholarship Information
In 2009, the PPA began offering scholarships to college-bound seniors and college students. The association now awards annually four $1,000 scholarships. A PPA SCHOLARSHIP is available for any student who meets the residency/school requirement and involved in community service. A PUBLIC SERVICE SCHOLARSHIP is available to any student enrolling or enrolled in a Law Enforcement or Fire Academy; in the event there are no applicants wishing to attend an academy preference will be given to a general or member wishing to study criminal justice or a related field of study. Two scholarships are set aside for members in memory of two Plano Police Officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The scholarships are named for Officer Dayle Weston Hardy (EOW July 7, 2007) and Officer Green W. Rye (EOW February 28, 1920).
