2024 Falmouth Fire-EMS Scholarship

Falmouth Fire-EMS Shield

The Falmouth Fire-EMS Scholarship recognizes graduating high school seniors living in our community who plan to continue their post secondary education in the field of firefighting, emergency medical services, nursing, or a related field.  Falmouth Fire-EMS is a combination Fire-EMS department, blending full time and part time staffing with on-call members who respond from their home or work to staff fire and EMS apparatus. We recognize the value of having such emergency service providers living in our community.  We also believe in education being the foundation for a successful future as a provider of emergency services whether it is as a career firefighter or paramedic, a volunteer or call firefighter or EMT, or a nurse, doctor, etc.
