Deadline March 6! - PORAC scholarship applications

Dear OCEA PORAC member, 

Keeping the American Dream alive for young people means a college education, and paying for one can be a substantial barrier for many working families. The OCEA-affiliated organization PORAC, which stands for Peace Officers Research Association of California, offers a scholarship annually. 

PORAC scholarships are available to the dependents of active and retired PORAC members, and to spouses or dependents of active members who died in the line of duty. Members who have medically retired from a regular PORAC association are also eligible. PORAC’s Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to applicants who are attending or will be registering for college. Scholarships are not restricted to applicants considering law enforcement as a career but PORAC hopes the program encourages young people in that direction. 

Access to PORAC is just one benefit of OCEA membership. Eligible members can apply now, and the deadline for turning in the application to the Sacramento PORAC office is Friday, March 6, 2020. You can download the application and get further information here.

In Solidarity,

Charles Barfield
OCEA General Manager
