Information provided by the DCSO

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is excited to announce its commitment to the education of the youth of Douglas County. Sheriff David A. Weaver has established a scholarship fund and will award ten scholarships in 2012, each valued at $750.

The DCSO considers this an investment in the future and believes it is helping to provide deserving students with an opportunity to make a positive contribution to society.  The scholarships are funded through money raised at the 2010 Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Shoot-Out at Sanctuary Golf Tournament fundraiser and $250 of it is a portion of the money raised in the 2011 Charity Shoot-Out, put on by members of the DCSO.

The scholarship program is broken down into three separate categories:

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Scholarship:
Eight scholarships, each worth $750, will be awarded to graduating seniors from any Douglas County public high school, accredited private high school, or a qualifying home school.

Race-A-Cop Scholarship:
One scholarship worth $750 will be awarded to a graduating senior from any Douglas County public high school, accredited private high school, or a qualifying home school.  This particular scholarship is only applicable to those students who are going to attend a vocational college/program.

Deputy Ron King Memorial Scholarship:
One scholarship worth $750 will be awarded to a graduating senior from any Douglas County public high school, accredited private high school, or a qualifying home school.

Any permanent resident of Douglas County who is graduating from any Douglas County high school, accredited private high school, or qualifying home school in the spring of 2012 and who is applying for, or has been accepted to, a vocational training program or institution of higher learning as a full-time or part-time student for fall of 2012 may be eligible.

Applicants must be eligible for admission to the school(s) or institution(s) of learning indicated in the application. No restrictions shall be placed upon applications by reason of race, creed, color, age, sex or national origin.  Recipients must successfully attend and complete the coursework during the year of the awarded scholarship.
