To announce the opportunity for state and local workforce investment systems to collaborate with a new four-year demonstration grant that provides funding of $2 million for the Steve Young Memorial Scholarship Program for spouses of fallen sworn law enforcement officers. The Steve Young Memorial Scholarship Program is administered by the National Fraternal Order of Police Foundation (hereafter referred to as the FOP), and provides up to $15,000 for job training and other services to spouses of fallen sworn law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty from January 2001 through December 2006.
