TTPOA Training Scholarships

Your agency said no. Our sponsors say yes.

Sponsored tuition covers the cost of a TTPOA training course for members whose agency cannot. Apply when you register.

How it works

Pick a course

Find the TTPOA training you need and click Register.

Choose Sponsored Tuition

Select it as your payment option, answer the application in detail, and attach proof that your agency declined funding.

Committee and sponsor review

Training leadership scores your application; the sponsor gives final approval and your tuition is committed.

Train and complete

Attend the course and submit the post-course survey. That is what releases the award.

What the scholarship covers

Thanks to our sponsors, TTPOA members can apply to have their tuition to a course paid when their agency cannot or will not fund their training. The scholarship does not cover travel, lodging, per diem, the TTPOA membership fee, or course add-ons.

Who can apply

Active TTPOA members in good standing — a membership must be paid at the time of review in order to be approved.
Officers whose agency has declined to fund the course — you must attach evidence of denial when you apply.
Only one scholarship will be awarded per person in a rolling 12-month period, across all sponsor funds.
TTPOA board members and their immediate family are not eligible.
Members who become PNG due to their actions or behavior will no longer be eligible for future scholarships and may be removed from association membership.

Students must apply for scholarship funding themselves. Organization admins cannot submit an application on behalf of another member.

What the committee looks for

Be specific about the training gap this course fills, how it benefits your agency, and why agency funding was not available. Vague applications score poorly. You may be contacted to discuss your application, and you must agree to be contacted by the sponsor.
