The National Police and Fire Scholarship is available to select children of professional, active-duty, or killed-on-duty municipal, county, and state police and firefighters. Applicants must be accepted to the University of Chicago and be children, stepchildren, or the legally adopted children of currently active, sworn, professional municipal, county, or state police officers or firefighters. Qualified parent roles include professional police officers with municipal, county, or state police forces, officers in sheriffs' offices, and professional firefighters with municipal or county fire departments. Students whose parents have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as those with mandatory retirement, are also eligible.
