Michael Worthington Scholarship

Applications are now closed

In 2016, CPSE created the Michael Worthington Scholarship in continued remembrance of our long time Board member and friend, who passed away September 25, 2015. As Mike exemplified continuous improvement and encouraged others to constantly grow and improve, we have committed to awarding up to five scholarships annually to active fire/EMS members serving at the Company Officer level.

Scholarship recipients receive the FO designation and a waiver of the initial designation fee.
