The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) proudly announces the recipients of the 2024-2025 scholarship program. This year’s 59 scholarship recipients were awarded $538,893 – bringing the total scholarships awarded since 1997 to nearly $7 million. The NFFF Scholarship Program honors our commitment to supporting the families of fallen firefighters by providing financial assistance for their educational and career goals.

This year’s scholarship recipients represent diverse academic pursuits—from studio arts to mechanical engineering and from psychology to fire science. Each recipient has a unique story, but they share a common bond—the legacy of a firefighter parent, stepparent, spouse, or life partner honored at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. This year’s recipients showcase determination, resilience, and a commitment to making a difference in their field of study.

The success of the scholarship program is only possible with the generosity of our sponsors and donors. Their contributions are crucial in funding these scholarships, and we extend our deepest gratitude for their unwavering support. Through these partnerships, we can continue to honor the memory of fallen firefighters while uplifting their families in meaningful ways.

To all scholarship recipients, we extend our heartfelt wishes for success in their educational pursuits. We stand by them, offering encouragement and support as they embark on their academic journey.
