Law Enforcement Tuition Incentive

Supporting the academic and vocational development of active Montana Law Enforcement through a specialized tuition incentive

Law enforcement professionals have a vital role in maintaining the safety, stability, and trust that communities rely on every day. Whether responding to emergencies, preventing crime, or fostering positive relationships with the public, their work demands both courage and compassion. As society grows more complex, so do the challenges faced by those who serve. Continued education equips law enforcement officers with the tools to navigate evolving legal landscapes, engage effectively with diverse populations, and lead with integrity in every situation.

The Law Enforcement Tuition Incentive is a specialized tuition incentive that extends a flat tuition rate of $250 per credit hour for both undergraduate and graduate degree programs offered in the University of Providence academic catalog. The incentive is open to full or part-time certified members of Montana law enforcement. The incentive is designed to not only support and uplift those who serve and protect our communities each day but provide the opportunity for academic and vocational advancement with quality, in-demand programs.
