The Bethany Vol. Fire Department offers two $500.00 scholarships per year to college students having completed a minimum of two semesters in their chosen field. Students maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.75 are encouraged to apply for this scholarship. Candidates must be a daughter or son of a member of the Bethany Vol. Fire Department, Bethany CT.
Interested students should send a synopsis of credentials and accomplishments within the chosen field along with a current school transcript in writing to:
Bethany Vol. Fire Dept., Chief of Dept., 765 Amity Road, Bethany, CT, 06524.
All requests must be received by June 1st of each year.
We do not have a specific application but as the article above states we need to get a synopsis of their credentials and their accomplishments in their field and a transcript of marks from the school.
It becomes more difficult to choose a student when we have more students than scholarships available, so we need more information in order to make a fair decision. Many students have done summer work in their field or volunteer work in their field. Some tell us how they came to make the decision to enter the field. All these help us to make a proper decision.
