Scholarships
The Missouri Chapter of APCO is committed to building future leaders within our profession, the Association and the Chapter! In addition to this, we strive to ensure access to continuing education as well as personal and professional development. To further these goals, the Missouri Chapter of APCO is proud to offer select scholarships to attend the Missouri Public Safety Communications Conference or select leadership development programs.
Named in honor of Matthew Knight who served as the Chapter Commercial Advisor between 2017 an his unexpected passing in 2021, this scholarship honors his commitment and dedication for the Missouri Public Safety Communications Conference.
In addition to his service on the Missouri APCO Board, Matt also served on the Missouri NENA Board and the Missouri Public Safety Communications Conference Committee.
His dedication to the MPSCC and Missouri’s Public-Safety Communications professionals has helped make the conference what it is today, ensuring that quality training and essential technologies are fairly represented each conference.
We are proud to continue his legacy through offering one Matthew Knight Memorial Scholarship each to the Spring and Fall MPSCC.
The Missouri Chapter is dedicated in developing leaders in the Missouri Public-Safety Communications profession. Leadership development courses such as the APCO Institute’s Registered-Public Safety Leader (RPL) and Certified Public-Safety Executive (CPE) programs are great ways to hone leadership knowledge and skills.
The MO Leaders Scholarship is designed to help Chapter members realize their goal of achieving the RPL or CPE designation and assist with tuition or travel costs.
This scholarship is only issued once a year and at the discretion of the Board.
