Chicago Police and Fire Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by University of Chicago
In honor of their service to the University community and the city, the University of Chicago offers up to full-tuition scholarships to select children of active firefighters and police officers. To be considered for the scholarships, candidates must complete applications to the University of Chicago and be children (including legally adopted children) of sworn City of Chicago firefighters, police officers, or University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) police officers. Students whose parent lost their life in the line of duty are also eligible for the scholarship. Each winner is guaranteed the scholarship for four years of undergraduate studies (12 academic quarters) at UChicago provided he or she makes satisfactory academic progress.
