MSA Executive Director James Stuart says the MSA Board acknowledges the current challenges in recruiting and the scholarship is one way that they can support those who choose to serve others through a career in law enforcement.  Morrison County Sheriff Shawn Larsen says law enforcement remains an honorable profession and offering the scholarships is another way they can promote the profession and support those who wish to serve.

To qualify for the scholarship students have to be enrolled in one of three categories: a mandated post-skills program, be in the 2nd year of a two-year program, or be in the 3rd or 4th year of a four-year program. The winners of the scholarships will be announced on December 30th.
