At MDFI, we have the honor and privilege of training folks from all walks of life and every profession under the sun. For whatever reason, they have chosen to not only carry a gun to protect themselves, their loved ones, and innocent life, but they have also chosen to continue their training to be the biggest asset they can to their fellow man as a responsibly armed citizen.

There are many in our citizenry however that take their desire to be a boon to society even further by undertaking the oath and dedication to being a sworn law enforcement officer.

Even though only some of the MDFI cadre and Alumni are past and current law enforcement members, all of us know full well the responsibility levied on the shoulders of our brothers and sisters in blue, brown, and green around the country.

On the flip-side, we also understand that very few departments have the budget to keep all of their officers trained at the level they need to be. (We hear this from near every LEO we have in classes)

With a desire to help our Michigan Law Enforcement Officers receive much-needed training when the department cannot assist, MDFI is proud to offer the MDFI BLUE LINE SCHOLARSHIP effective beginning in 2017.

The BLUE LINE SCHOLARSHIP will offer one spot for an Active or Reserve Law Enforcement Officer from the state of Michigan in each of our MCOLES registered classes tuition-free (but a $25 range fee is applicable, $35 for indoor classes).

Those classes are:

  • YSINTG®
  • Foundation Handgun
  • Foundation Shotgun
  • Foundation Carbine

  • Low Light Handgun*
  • Low Light Long Gun*
  • When Things Go Bad*
