LEO provides a waiver of tuition, fees, and room at any public college, university, or technical institute in Arkansas for dependents and spouses of Arkansas law enforcement officers, some Highway and Transportation Department employees, and other public employees, who were killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The Law Enforcement Officers' Dependents Scholarship program provides an eight-semester scholarship to any state-supported college, university, or technical institute in Arkansas to dependents of Arkansas residents who were killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. Dependent children are eligible to receive benefits for eight semesters and must be less than 23 years of age on or before the first day of the semester or quarter. Spouses are entitled to an eight-semester scholarship. The spouse will no longer be eligible if he or she remarries. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Arkansas Department of Higher Education for more information.
