ESA Youth Scholarship Program

Description

The ESA Youth Scholarship Program aims to support the futures of the children of first responders. High school seniors who have a commitment to excellence and are inspired by the work their first responder parent(s) do in our communities, are invited to apply. Awards are based on a combination of academic achievement, national test scores, extracurricular participation and the essay. This year, 14 state associations are participating in ESA's Youth Scholarship Program. Applicants whose parent(s) serve as an active first responder in a participating state should apply to that state. If you do not see your state listed, you can apply directly to ESA. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
