Columbia Southern University is offering two two-year scholarships to members of the NVFC. This is the second year that CSU has offered scholarships to NVFC members. One scholarship will be awarded toward a bachelor’s degree and the other for an associate’s degree.

The recipients of the two scholarships will be selected through a competitive application process and can use the scholarship towards any of the fields of study offered by CSU. Interested candidates must submit a completed scholarship application form, two letters of recommendation, and an up to 500-word essay on: "The Importance of This Scholarship to My Personal, Professional, and/or Educational Growth, and How It Will Benefit My Current or Future Involvement in the Volunteer Fire Service."

Application packets must be received by Oct. 10. Application forms and criteria are available at www.nvfc.org/csu.
