Scholarship Program
Invest in the future of our heroes' children
Our first responders are the backbone of our communities, risking their lives daily to protect us all. Now, we have the opportunity to give back by investing in the education of their children. The Scholarship Program ensures these deserving young people can access the resources they need to build successful, fulfilling lives.
Empowering the next generation of leaders
The Scholarship Program provides $3,000 per academic year for up to four years to eligible children of active first responders pursuing higher education at a college, university, vocational, or technical school. Continuation of the award in subsequent years is contingent on the student successfully completing the previous year. The scholarship funds are sent directly to the student to avoid impacting any other financial aid awards that go directly to the educational institution.
