Scholarship Guidelines
Scholarships
Our mission is to find and grant scholarships to dedicated individuals who aspire to go to school to train to serve their communities as nurses or emergency responders. To be considered for a TLCF Scholarship, student applicants must be a Minnesota resident and are accepted and/or enrolled in an undergraduate program in an accredited College or University in one of these three programs: fire science, E.M.T., paramedics or nursing.
TLCF Memorial Scholarships are awarded annually to both traditional and non-traditional students who demonstrate initiative, leadership and service to their community. They are committed to completing their program and have drive, energy, and enthusiasm for their work.
The TLCF Scholarship committee uses personal statements and/or personal interviews, recommendations from instructors or program directors, and other individuals not related to the potential awardees in which to base their decisions. A minimum of (4) four TLCF, Inc. Memorial Scholarships are awarded each year. The amount of the scholarship award is $750. More Scholarships may be awarded based upon available funds. Scholarship awards may be used for cost of attendance expenses.
Student applicants and/or schools will be notified of their scholarship award. TLCF will issue a check for one-half of the scholarship amount. The second half of the award will be paid after the first semester and upon receipt of a transcript showing satisfactory academic progress in the student recipient’s program of study.
