Additionally, preference is given to applicants with an Individualized Education Program or those who are family members of current or former Worcester police officers or firefighters. Candidates must also demonstrate financial need in accordance with the foundation's established policies. The award aims to help promising young individuals overcome obstacles and achieve their educational goals.
