Emergency Services Foundation Scholarships

CFA members are invited to apply for Emergency Services Foundation scholarships for 2013.

The Emergency Services Foundation was established following the Ash Wednesday bushfires in 1983. It operates as a trust to provide immediate support for those who suffer hardship as a result of the death of a family member or injuries sustained in the line of duty.

 

The Foundation also provides educational scholarships to members of the industry and conducts support activities such as the annual Emergency Management Conference to increase the understanding of the key issues that challenge emergency services personnel.

The scholarships of up to $10,000 are for study in Australia or overseas - this might be by participating in formal courses or by attachment for study or observation with other agencies or institutions to advance their educational and professional standards. In addition, members can develop their individual vocational skills and knowledge to improve the range, quality and efficiency of the emergency services for the benefit of the community.
