In 1994 the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Society of
Fire Service Instructors voted to establish a training scholarship program. The
scholarship fund has been named after William E. Clark, a Wisconsin Fire
Service training pioneer. An amount of $2500.00 will be awarded for use during
the 2019/2020 school year. Individual scholarships will be awarded to students
enrolled in an Associate Degree, Bachelors Degree, or Masters Degree program.
The purpose of the scholarships is to further the fire service education of
members of Wisconsin Society of Emergency Services Instructors or their
dependents.
- Applicants must be members of
the Wisconsin Society of Emergency Services Instructors (WSESI) or their
dependents. (Applicant or sponsor must have 3 years active
membership)
- Applicants will be screened for
those who desire Associate, Baccalaureate, or Masters degrees in
fire-related areas; e.g. fire administration, fire science, or public
administration.
- Leadership abilities, financial
need, academic capability and personal goals to serve the public are areas
to be judged by the Scholarship Committee.
- All award monies will be sent
directly to the school of entry in the selected individual’s name after
acceptance for classes, and must be used between August 2019 and September
2020.
- Awardees will be eligible to
apply for additional assistance in succeeding years.
- All applications must be
accompanied by the applicant’s most recent high school and/or college
transcript, as well as a one-page autobiographical sketch of the
candidate. The sketch should include information as to courses planned,
cost, and future goals or career plans.
- Applications will be screened
and a field of selected candidates may be interviewed by three scholarship
committee members. Their recommendations will be forwarded to the Board of
Trustees of the William E. Clark Memorial Education Endowment Fund Charitable
Trust, whose decision for awards will be final.
- All applications must be
received by April 1, 2019. The Board of Trustees of the William E. Clark
Memorial Education Endowment Fund Charitable Trust will make the final
decision at its spring board meeting, and successful students will be notified.
Please submit completed application form, autobiographical
sketch, and any other pertinent information to:
