NASSLEO Scholarship Program
"School Safety Through the Eyes of Many”
The National Association of School Safety and Law Enforcement Officials (NASSLEO) organization was established to foster, promote and develop among its membership, the profession of safety and security in K-12 educational institutions in Canada and the United States of America. It is NASSLEO’s belief that there is no better way to ensure the long-term sustainability of this endeavor than to provide financial assistance to graduating high school seniors who have chosen to further their education, and who will be enrolled full-time in a degree or diploma program at a recognized university or college.

All NASSLEO Regional scholarships must be sent to the respective regional director of the area that the scholarship application is made for (available at www.nassleo.org under “Board of Directors). For example, a scholarship application from a student from Grand Rapids, Michigan would be forwarded to the NASSLEO Region III – Mid-West Regional Director at midwestdirector@nassleo.org
Recipients must agree to have their names and photographs published in conjunction with the award, and with any promotion of the awards.
Immediate family members of those serving on the Board of Directors for The National Association of School Safety and Law Enforcement Officials (NASSLEO) organization are ineligible to apply for these scholarships.
We will also need an extra page added to the scholarship area so that a counselor or the person nominating the student can give their justification on why that student should get recommendation for a scholarship.
Implementation
Regional directors shall be responsible to implement the scholarship program throughout their respective areas.
On February 1, the executive director will send an implementation reminder to the regional directors. By March 23, the regional directors will notify the NASSLEO members in their respective areas of the opening of the scholarship nomination period and ask that they seek qualified nominees. They shall also request that the members return all completed nomination packets to them by April 15.

The Executive Director will forward the packets to the Scholarship Committee Chair and the members of Scholarship Committee.
The committee will select one individual student from each region for the award. The Committee Chair will forward the names of the regional winners to the Executive Director and the President by May 15. The Executive Director or the President will inform the regional director of the names of the award winners, who shall then notify the nominating NASSLEO member and the school teacher/administrator by May 30.
