The Sarbanes Scholarship Program supports spouses, life partners, children, and stepchildren of firefighters honored at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. It covers undergraduate and graduate study, vocational-technical training, and certification programs at public or private schools in or out of state. One application is automatically considered for several affiliated memorial funds. Award size depends on a composite score weighting financial need above academic performance, rather than a flat amount.
