## About this scholarship

The Karen Mayne Public Safety Officer Scholarship Program, administered by the Utah System of Higher Education, is designed for high school graduates who intend to work as public safety officers once they become eligible. This state-funded program provides financial assistance to help these future officers pursue their higher education goals at participating Utah colleges and universities. 

To access this funding, students should coordinate with their chosen institution's financial aid office. While the scholarship focuses on career preparation in public safety, applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid annually. Completing the FAFSA helps students explore all available options for paying for college, as many state and institutional aid programs require it to determine eligibility for additional grants, work-study, or loans. For current application dates and deadlines, see the official page for current dates.
