The Loveland Police Officers’ Association (LPOA) and the Loveland Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (LCPAAA) awarded the 2024 Emergency Services Scholarship on June 6 to Katherine Watson.
This is a $1,000 scholarship that is awarded to one qualified applicant yearly who will be pursuing Ohio Peace Officer certification training, or a Bachelor's degree in criminal justice or a related field.
The Scholarship Committee reviews all applicants' transcripts, essays, letters of recommendation, and a video introduction to get to know them in areas such as good citizenship, community service, volunteerism and academic activities, as well as their future educational plans.
"Our committee was very pleased with one candidate who stood out this year. Katherine Watson is a 2023 graduate of Loveland High School, and she is pursuing her bachelor's degree in Sociology Pre-Law at Ohio University, where she has just finished her first year of studies," said Peggy Goodwin of LCPAAA.
