SACRAMENTO – Great job, students!  The hard part for you, is over!  You’ve waded through the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) scholarship application and got it postmarked by deadline!  Now it’s time for the CSLEA Scholarship Review Committee to roll up its sleeves and score each of the 48 applicants who are keeping their fingers crossed for a $1,000 award.

“This truly is a lot of work each year, but in the end, we sit back, and we are in total awe of our young people,” said CSLEA Scholarship Committee Chairman Al Cardwood.  “This is a time-consuming process.   First, all identifying information is redacted from the application our reviewers see, then each reviewer evaluates and scores the applicant.  We are proud that we will be able to assist eight students with a thousand dollars each.  Those are the calls we like to make!”

The CSLEA scholarship review committee will announce the names of the scholarship recipients by August 24, 2108.
