Dear Matt, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for selecting me as a recipient of the Fire and EMS Academy Scholarship. Receiving this support is truly meaningful, and it encourages me to continue pushing forward in my journey as a Firefighter/EMT. Thanks to your generosity, I can work toward attending paramedic school and fulfilling my dream of becoming a full-time firefighter, all while easing the financial pressure that comes with further education. This assistance gives me the chance to focus on my training and serve my community without the added worry of tuition costs. Having spent the last three years in fire and EMS, I know how important it is to have dedicated individuals in these roles. Your commitment to helping students like me serve others in such vital ways is incredibly inspiring. It motivates me even more to give my best and one day help the next generation of first responders. Thank you again for your kindness and belief in my future. Your support makes a real difference in my life, and I hope to pay it forward in my career. Thank you, jaylin foster

Dear Matt, I'm truly grateful to be selected as the recipient of the Fire and EMS Academy Scholarship. Your support means so much to me as I work toward my lifelong dream of becoming a flight paramedic. Receiving this scholarship eases the financial challenges of attending medic school, allowing me to focus more fully on my training and service. Having started my journey in firefighting and EMS, and currently serving as a volunteer in Kiowa and an EMT in Denver, I've found my deepest purpose in helping others during their most critical moments. There’s nothing I’d rather do than make a difference through this work. Your mission to help students enter the fire and EMS fields—in service of others—truly inspires me. Thanks to your generosity, I can continue building the skills I need to save lives and serve my community. I’m sincerely appreciative of your kindness and hope to honor your commitment by carrying it forward in my own career. Thank you, Jade Stone
