The work of a first responder is often dangerous. Firefighters, paramedics, and police officers are tasked with saving lives, no matter how dire the situation may be. Many first responders have been wounded, even killed, while fighting to protect other people.
At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we want to pay tribute to the first responders who risk everything for public safety. We have opened the Wounded First Responders Scholarship for injured first responders and their families looking to pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree. We will award one student with an award of $1000 each semester. If you are interested in applying, please review our scholarship requirements on this page.
