2021 Scholarships
EMSCNJ Awards $12,000 in Scholarships
Grants go to cadets, graduate school-level EMS Volunteers
Sayerville, NJ. A dozen college-bound and graduate study-level EMS volunteers have received $1,000 awards through 2021 EMS Council of New Jersey (EMSCNJ) scholarship programs.
The 92-year-old nonprofit New Jersey State First Aid Council, doing business as the EMSCNJ, represents approximately 17,000 EMS volunteers affiliated with 233 EMS agencies throughout the Garden State.
Eligible cadet grant applications were high school seniors planning to attend college this fall, and who are active participants on EMSCNJ affiliated squads. There were 40 applicants this year for cadet education grants; six were chosen. A selection committee at Raritan Valley Community College reviewed the applications and chose the winners.
Six Gail Lawrence Memorial Scholarships were awarded to graduate students who are EMSCNJ-affiliated volunteers pursuing medical related careers. The $1,000 grants were established in memory of Lawrence, a mobile intensive care nurse, advanced practice nurse and educator with Rutgers University.
