TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Tallahassee Fire Academy celebrated its fall 2016 scholarship recipients during graduation last night.
A part of Tallahassee Community College's Florida Public Safety Institute,
the fire academy has been granted $15,000 in scholarships from the Firehouse Sub's Public Safety Foundation.
Those three recipients were honored last night.
"We tell these folks that everyday is a job interview," said E.E. Eunice, an executive director at the academy. "There are folks that are supporting these recruits: their family members, their friends, and probably some employers that are out there in the audience that are looking for new, fresh recruits throughout the state of Florida. They do recruiting for us throughout the state here."
The gift will fund three post-completion scholarships, including the $25,000 Isaac Royal Memorial Award and the $1,250 Executive Director and Leadership awards.
