This resource contains links to organizations with listed scholarships. Through these links, over 150 scholarships are available. Most of the scholarships are strictly 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.
