\"Montezuma
Montezuma County students are eligible to apply for the County Sheriffs of Colorado scholarship this year. The application closes on Friday, Feb. 28. (Journal file photo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Eligible students from Montezuma County may apply for the 2025 County Sheriffs of Colorado scholarship before the deadline of Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

Each year, the County Sheriffs of Colorado awards around 30 $500 scholarships through its Honorary Membership program. The program was established in 1978.<\/p>\n

The scholarship is available to Montezuma County students in odd-numbered years, such as 2025. However, the Montezuma County Sheriff\u2019s Office works to ensure students still get a scholarship each year, even if it isn\u2019t from County Sheriffs of Colorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany area businesses and local organizations offer scholarship programs,\u201d Sheriff Steve Nowlin told The<\/em> Journal<\/em>. \u201cIn the alternate year that CSOC does not provide a scholarship for the Montezuma Sheriff, we as the agency have donated funds, as well as myself, to offer a scholarship each year that is more than $500.\u201d<\/p>\n

High school seniors who are a legal resident of Colorado and the U.S. are eligible. They must also plan to enroll full- or part-time in a vocational training program or institution of higher learning in Colorado for the 2025-2026 school year.<\/p>\n

There is no limit or restriction on the degree or trade the student is pursuing.<\/p>\n

Students who have been awarded the scholarship in previous years are also invited to reapply for the scholarship again.<\/p>\n

Applications can be found online<\/a> at www.bit.ly\/4221nVC or by contacting the Sheriff\u2019s Office. Applications turned in after the deadline may be disqualified.<\/p>\n

Students will be selected by a citizens committee chosen by the Sheriff\u2019s Office. Each county provides one scholarship recipient and two runners-up.<\/p>\n

Selected students will be announced about May 1, and awards will be presented by the sheriff, CSOC said.<\/p>\n
