Public Safety Officer Career Advancement Grant (PSOCAG) Program

The Public Safety Officer Career Advancement Grant (PSOCAG) Program is a state-funded financial aid initiative administered by the Utah System of Higher Education. This program is specifically designed for certified peace officers who are currently employed by a Utah law enforcement agency. Eligible applicants must be actively pursuing a post-secondary degree in a criminal justice-related field of study.

The grant provides funding to help cover the cost of tuition for qualifying students. To access this state aid, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as many state and institutional programs in Utah utilize this form to coordinate financial assistance. Candidates should consult with their institution's financial aid office to understand how the grant coordinates with other aid. For the most up-to-date application deadlines, individuals must see the official page for current dates.
