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 award up to three Leadership Awards, each providing $5,000 toward higher education costs, to qualified winning candidates, which the foundation said honors Utah’s law enforcement heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Dependents of Utah peace officers who are currently high school graduates or enrolled full-time in an accredited college, university, or professional certificate program (and are under the age of 25) are encouraged to apply, provided additional eligibility requirements as detailed in the application. .

The Utah 1033 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization established in 2011 to honor Utah’s fallen officers by providing immediate financial support to their families and to assist the dependents of fallen and active duty Utah peace officers with education costs.

“Our leadership awards are a wonderful opportunity for Utah peace officer dependents to receive significant financial assistance while pursuing their higher education goals, as well as an opportunity for us at the Utah 1033 Foundation to meet 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 ultimately celebrating a new group of deserving winners.”
