Scholarship Applications:
Anyone applying for a COVA Scholarship must first approach their local VALE Board for funding (Click to find your Local VALE Administrator's contact information). Most scholarships awarded are in the form of a Registration Fee Waiver.  There are a limited number of registration fee scholarships available.

New This Year! COVA has received a Peace Officer Standards & Training (P.O.S.T.) grant that includes COVA Conference scholarships for Colorado sworn officers. These scholarships are for the registration fees only. The scholarships are in addition to the regular (above) COVA scholarship funds.
