Scholarship applications are now online at Boise State Financial Aid.
There are six opportunities for criminal justice students attending Boise State University to receive scholarships from the Department of Criminal Justice:
The David Mueller Memorial Fund
Travel scholarship created in honor of Dr. David G. Mueller
Dr. Mueller was a strong supporter of the Western Association of Criminal Justice (‘WACJ’), a Past President, and an Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (‘ACJS’) Region 5 Trustee. To honor his contribution to WACJ, a travel scholarship has been established to support student travel to WACJ regional conferences. Once endowed, this scholarship will be available to students attending Region 5 schools in order to fund their participation in the regional conference.
To reach endowment status, we have five years to reach $25,000.
