The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), in partnership with the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation, has selected 10 outstanding junior firefighters to receive a $5,000 scholarship through the National Junior Firefighter Scholarship and Grant Program. The departments of each of the scholarship recipients will also receive a $5,000 grant to support their junior firefighter programs. In total, the program has awarded $100,000, thanks to support from the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation.
我们对收到的高质量应用程序的数量感到非常兴奋。” NVFC执行董事Heather Schafer说。“奖学金审查委员会面临着一项艰巨的任务，但最终选择了10名申请人，这些申请人是真正的鼓舞人心和出色的例子，说明成为初级消防员的意义。这10个人在他们对计划的承诺和奉献精神方面已经超越了超越，并体现了消防和紧急服务的未来。我们很荣幸能与Dunkin的Brands社区基金会合作，以授予这些奖学金。”
Currently in its inaugural year, the scholarship and grant program has been an enormous success, and hundreds of junior firefighters applied for the competitive scholarships. In addition, the number of juniors and departments registered for the National Junior Firefighter Program has more than doubled since the scholarship application period opened.
