The $500 scholarship was pioneered to further the FCPOA's community involvement and support motivated local high school seniors with their academic pursuits. 

"Engaging our local community in scholastic pursuits is one of the cornerstones of our association," said Electronics Technician 1st Class M. Collier, president. "This is one way we can show our support our deserving high school seniors. The process of developing this scholarship program was challenging, but next year we hope to expand the program."
