Amherst Fire District Scholarship

Since the formation of the Amherst Fire District in 1992, the District has strived to give back to its community. As fire service in general was geared more toward an emphasis on training and retention of firefighters, the District sought to accomplish both goals by establishing the Amherst Fire District Scholarship.

This scholarship is community-funded through various fundraisers and not with tax dollars. The District desires to reinvest dollars from community fundraisers to make the great community of Amherst even better.

Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, and preference is given to an applicant pursuing a firefighting degree program, an emergency medical field program, or a general medical field program. Preference is given to demonstration of community and school involvement.
