University of South 成人快播 Executive Vice President and Provost Dr. Andi Kent, from left, and President Jo Bonner, meet to sign an agreement with former Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran and Sheriff Paul Burch that will provide scholarships to Mobile County deputies and correctional officers seeking an undergraduate degree in criminal justice.

The University of South 成人快播 has entered into an agreement with the Mobile County Deputy Sheriff and Correctional Officer Foundation to provide an affordable pathway to a bachelor鈥檚 degree in criminal justice. The initiative is an expansion of South鈥檚 Heroes Scholarship initiated last year for active duty military personnel. 

鈥淭his will help deputies and correctional officers advance in their field with a degree in criminal justice while giving them the broad intellectual and practical skills that come with a liberal arts 成人快播,鈥 said University of South 成人快播 President Jo Bonner. 鈥淲e are grateful to be able to expand our Heroes Scholarship to help those who risk their lives in public service.鈥 

Any Mobile County deputy sheriff or correctional officer who enrolls at South as undergraduate student in the criminal justice degree program is eligible. The Mobile County Deputy Sheriff and Correctional Officer Foundation will pay up to 50 percent of the student鈥檚 tuition balance after applying any federal financial aid received. The University will award a scholarship of 75 percent of the remaining balance.

鈥淲e are very excited about partnering with the University of South 成人快播 and look forward to offering our employees this great opportunity to earn a degree or further their 成人快播,鈥 said Sheriff Paul Burch. 

Former Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran started the foundation while in office and views the scholarship program as a way to elevate the readiness of law enforcement. The program, he said, provides an opportunity that otherwise wouldn鈥檛 be easily available. 

鈥淚t has been my lifelong dream to have professional and well-educated law enforcement in Mobile,鈥 Cochran said. 鈥淚 believe that an educated, physically fit force equals the best.鈥
