2023 UCO Scholarship Recipients

Since 2018, Leeds has sponsored two scholarships awarded by the University of Central Oklahoma Forensic Science Institute to two individuals studying forensic science.  Leeds is very proud to support this outstanding program and these rising forensic scientists.  We believe the future of this industry is bright and these students are carving their own paths towards impactful careers in this field of forensics.
