Scholarship & Grant Program

Airlift Northwest taking applications for
2009 Scholarship and Grant Program

Airlift Northwest announces its 2009 scholarship and grant program to honor and remember those from the organization who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The program includes three components, each one to honor our colleagues’ commitment to their profession, and intended to support education and safety in our stakeholder community. These are:

  • A scholarship program for nurses to be used for clinical education that expands their knowledge and capability, with the recipients returning to their organizations to share what they have learned.
  • A scholarship program for members of the emergency medical services community to be used for EMS-related education that expands their knowledge and capability, with the recipients returning to their agencies to share what they have learned.
  • A grant program for hospitals and EMS, fire department or law enforcement agencies to improve safety practices or equipment related to working with air medical services.

Airlift Northwest will give out the grants and scholarships at its October 9, 2009 EMS conference. Two $1,000 awards will be given in each category.
