Covington Volunteer Firefighter's Association Scholarship

Western Indiana Community Foundation

The primary purpose of the Covington Volunteer Firefighters Association Scholarship is to assist students that have demonstrated a commitment to the community as well as their desire to continue their education in the public service field. Public service includes those careers most closely associated with the work of fire fighting; including, but not limited to; fire fighting, fire inspection and investigating, emergency medical technicians, and emergency medical paramedics. In the event that the above criteria cannot be met, the scholarship will consider those students who are pursuing a career in Nursing and most closely satisfy the original selection criteria. Applicants must be a graduate of Covington High School and must be a resident of the Covington school district for at least twelve months prior to the application date. Applicants must be accepted as a full-time student at an accredited two or four-year college or university and must be in the top 50% of the student's graduating class based on GPA. Priority is given to applicants exhibiting financial need.
