MCOA Memorial Scholarship
The MCOA Memorial Scholarship has been established in memory and honor of all Michigan Conservation Officers who have lost their lives in the course of their duties to protect and preserve the natural resources of this great state.
This scholarship is intended to recognize and reward need, academic achievement and potential of students; to stimulate recruitment of well qualified candidates for careers in our society today; and reflect the interest and involvement of the members of the MCOA. Applications for this scholarship will be judged at the MCOA Board Meetings held during the month of August. At least one (1) $500.00 scholarship will be awarded. It is the intent of the MCOA to award additional scholarships when possible.
