The University of Michigan-Dearborn extended its Community Service Personnel Scholarship program to employees of the Oakland County Circuit Court and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office last month.
The participation agreements were formally signed by Oakland County Circuit Court Chief Judge Nanci Grant, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, UMD Dean Martin Hershock, and UMD Criminal Justice Studies Program Director (and former Washtenaw County Circuit Judge) Dr. Donald Shelton.
The program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn was established to recognize the service of public safety personnel to communities and to encourage them to pursue or continue their educational goals.
The program provides a scholarship valued at 20 percent of tuition and fees for public safety employees at partnering organizations.
Although administered through the Criminal Justice Studies Program, the scholarship is available for degree-seeking students in any UMD department or program and can be used for undergraduate and graduate programs.
