Apply for an AWIMA Scholarship
The Arizona Wildfire and Incident Management Academy wants to promote and encourage individuals and/or agencies in their efforts to improve their abilities to operate safely in the wildland fire fighting environment. Therefore, the Academy has developed this scholarship program. This program is intended to financially assist those individuals and/or agencies that would otherwise not be able to attend the academy. We want to make as many scholarships available as possible to those that meet the pre-requisites for the course. Best of luck and we hope to see you at the academy.
**The application period is open October 20th - January 15th of each year. Funds are limited, so apply early before scholarships run out. Each agency can be awarded up to 3 scholarships to support their employees.
Only apply for an AWIMA scholarship if you have NOT completed registration. We will not refund registration costs.
