## About this scholarship

The Edwin LeRoy Clopp Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by the Wayne County Foundation, supports local students who are preparing for careers dedicated to community protection and emergency response. The program is open to students from a Wayne County High School who intend to pursue a course of study leading to a vocation in public safety. Priority is given to individuals entering the firefighting field, though students focusing on law enforcement or emergency medical training are also eligible. 

To be considered for this scholarship, applicants must complete the foundation's online application. The foundation uses a centralized application system, meaning students only need to submit a single application to be evaluated for multiple countywide awards. While the foundation evaluates candidates based on various criteria such as academic achievement and personal goals, applicants should also complete the FAFSA to demonstrate any financial need, as economic status is often considered during the competitive selection process. Recipients are notified of their awards during their school's spring ceremonies.
