President’s Message: March 2024

Dear CAA Members,

As spring unfolds and brings new beginnings, I am thrilled to address you with exciting developments and opportunities within the California Alarm Association. One of the most heartening initiatives that stands as a testament to our comitment to community and professional growth is the CAA Youth Scholarship Program.

Celebrating our 26th Year of the Youth Scholarship Program!

The California Alarm Association Youth Scholarship Program is a commendable initiative aimed at providing financial support to college-bound high school seniors. Specifically, this scholarship is open to children of active-duty law enforcement and fire service personnel in California. The program is a way for the CAA and its members to give back to those who serve and protect the communities where they live and work, acknowledging the sacrifices made by these families.

The CAA Youth Scholarship Program not only assists students financially but also motivates them to pursue their academic and career goals, recognizing their hard work and the service their parents provide to the community. It embodies the CAA’s commitment to community engagement and professional development, demonstrating a significant investment in the future leaders of society.

For more detailed information on the application process, deadlines, and scholarship amounts for the current or upcoming academic year, interested parties should visit our California Alarm Association’s official website or contact the CAA directly.
