Scholarships
The NVFC offers the following resources for more information on scholarship opportunities.
Columbia Southern University (CSU) and the National Volunteer Fire Council have teamed up to offer two scholarships to members of the NVFC to attend CSU. Applications for the 2011 scholarships are due by September 30.
The NVFC National Junior Firefighter Program has compiled a listing of organizations with listed scholarships. Most of the scholarships are for college students studying fire engineering, fire protection, fire safety, or emergency medical services. However, a few scholarships are available for children of current, retired, or deceased firefighters-regardless of the students' major area of study.
