For the past decade, The Utah 1033 Foundation has helped dependents of current Utah Law Enforcement Officers pay for higher education through its annual Leadership Awards Program. In 2025, The Utah 1033 Foundation will continue that tradition by granting up to three (3) Leadership Awards, each of which provides $5,000 to defray higher education costs, to qualified winning applicants in honor of Utah’s law enforcement heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Sworn Utah Peace Officer dependents who are currently high school seniors or currently enrolled full-time in an accredited college, university, or vocational certificate program (and are under the age of 25) are encouraged to apply, subject to additional eligibility requirements as detailed in the application.
“Our Leadership Awards are a wonderful opportunity for qualified dependents of Utah Peace Officers to receive meaningful financial assistance as they pursue their higher education goals, as well as an opportunity for us at the Utah 1033 Foundation to get acquainted with some of Utah’s brightest young minds and potential future leaders,” said Foundation president Dave Kaufman. “We look forward to receiving applications for the 2025 Leadership Awards and eventually celebrating a new group of deserving winners.”
