About This Scholarship

The Fire Family Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the California Fire Foundation. The scholarship is designed to support the children and spouses of fallen firefighters, as well as those pursuing a career in the fire service. The scholarship provides financial assistance of up to $5,000 per year to help cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses. It is renewable for up to four years for undergraduate students and up to two years for graduate students. 

Approximately 10 awards are provided every year for this scholarship and each student will get $5000 as an award amount. The Fire Family Scholarship is a scholarship program that is specifically designed to provide financial support and assistance to the children, spouses, and domestic partners of California firefighters. The scholarship is awarded to help these individuals pursue their educational goals, including attending college or vocational school.

The Fire Family Scholarship is given because firefighters and their families make great sacrifices to ensure the safety and well-being of their communities. The scholarship program aims to recognize and support these sacrifices by helping the families of firefighters to achieve their educational dreams and improve their future prospects.

In addition to the financial assistance provided by the scholarship, the program also seeks to provide emotional support and encouragement to the families of firefighters.
