Dear Brother / Sister O�cer:
It is time once again to apply for the $1,000 scholarships awarded by COBA. The
scholarship will be awarded to children from the ages of 5 to 19 (up to 23 for those
attending college). This year, as in previous years, Correction O�cers who are also
students and are attending college will be eligible for the scholarship, as well as the
children of Correction O�cers. No age limit will be applied to Correction O�cers who
are also college students, although proof of current college attendance will be required
of all those who apply.
The COBA Scholarship Fund provides $1,000 scholarship checks to the children of
Correction O�cers. Because of our success and through the support of many generous
donors, the fund has been able to expand its scope over the years to include
scholarship awards for Correction O�cers who are continuing their education, as well
as for retirees.
The strength of our Scholarship Fund is reflected by the unprecedented $650,000 in
scholarships that have been awarded over the past twenty years. Since its inception in
1996, the COBA Scholarship Fund has provided a total of 650 scholarships.
We encourage you to fill out the application and return it as soon as possible.
All applications must be received by November 9th, with the attached verification of
student status. The lottery drawing will be held at the November General Membership
Meeting at Riccardo’s Catering located at: 21-01 24th Avenue, Astoria, NY 11102.
Please note that this is a one time scholarship award. Previous winners are not eligible.
Winner need not be present.
