The scholarship program emphasizes this aspect of prevention. Education is a critical step toward a crime-free life. Through no fault of their own, there are many children whose life experiences place their educational opportunities in jeopardy. These are children who have had a parent incarcerated, an event that can produce many negative consequences for the children including poverty. These are also children who have been the victim of a crime or whose immediate family members have been crime victims. This, too, can be a life-altering event, which can also produce many negative consequences. Scholarship amounts vary. Application process opens March 1st and the deadline to apply is June 1st.
