Scholarship Program
The 11-99 Foundation awards scholarships to dependents of CHP employees who are pursuing a college education. Applications are received each Winter, awards are granted in the Spring and student achievements are celebrated in the Summer at eight ceremonies across California. There are three programs available: 1. General Scholarship Program: Sons and Daughters of Active or Retired CHP Employees 2. Fallen Hero Scholarship Program: Sons, Daughters and Spouses of Fallen Heroes 3. Advanced Studies Scholarship - Invitation only upon meeting general award requirements and demonstrating a 3.8 GPA or higher.

Beginning in 2014, 83% of scholarships were awarded at 50% tuition and all students whose parent was killed in the line of duty are funded at 100% tuition.

Benefit Program
Every time a CHP Officer takes to the road or responds to a call, his or her life is placed at risk in the service of his or her fellow citizens. Because we appreciate this sacrifice, we provide financial assistance when an officer is killed in the line of duty as well as to CHP employees and their families in times of crisis, such as the death of a spouse or child, emergency medical expenses, or other unforeseen financial hardship. This program is not just for emergencies. We also provide for other special circumstances and requests are reviewed on an individual basis. These include, but are not limited to: 1. Medical treatment and related expenses not covered by insurance for an employee or family member with a catastrophic illness. 2. Specially equipped vans to transport those with special needs. 3. Retrofit homes with ramps and special equipment following an injury, causing disability. 4. Travel and incidental expenses related to long hospital stays. 5. Assistance with monthly expenses related to medical hardship.
100% of eligible applicants will receive assistance regardless of amount requested.
