Who Can Apply:
- First responders hold the fabric of society together.
- Whether it’s policemen, firemen, emergency medical professionals, or members of the military, brave individuals in these fields fight to protect our world, liberties, and lives every day.
- Being a first responder often comes with risks. To protect our world and lives, first responders often put themselves in danger. And sadly, we lose many brave first responders every day. In the wake of these tragedies, spouses, children, and friends are left behind and must move forward in the face of the pain of loss.
- As one small way to help the families of first responders, the A Heroes Family Scholarship exists to provide financial support for a current or former student who has lost a parent/guardian or spouse to an on-duty tragedy of a first responder. This includes those in law enforcement, fire, or the military.
- The scholarship is open to students at any education level, above and including, high school seniors. Those pursuing education at a 2 or 4-year college/university, graduate school, a professional certificate program, or a trade or vocational school are all welcome to apply.
Submission:
- Tell us about the parent/guardian or spouse you lost. Include their name and department or branch of service.
- Tell us about your fondest memory with that parent/guardian or spouse or how you honor them as you navigate life.
- Tell us about your goals, dreams or aspirations that you are looking to achieve with your education.
