Fire eTraining Institute Scholarship Guidelines

Education and training are more important than ever right now due to the rate of retirement of our most experienced firefighters and officers.  The modern firefighter needs to be constantly learning to keep up with our changing world.  The firefighter lifestyle is not easy, and it can be difficult to pursue educational opportunities.

Fire eTraning is pleased to assist dedicated men and women by offering financial assistance.  We will select an applicant from Option 1 & 2 every six months.  The applicant will be awarded free tuition for one series of courses; FO 1, FO2 or Inspector 1.  The student must pay for any required textbooks.

Applicant Criteria

Option 1: Must be a firefighter currently working for a Florida fire department that does not provide educational reimbursement.

Or

Option 2: Must be a Florida resident and not employed by a fire department or private inspection company who is seeking a job as a fire inspector.
