2027 Scholarship Application Process Update

Beginning with the current scholarship application period, all applications must be submitted electronically through our online application form by May 15th

We are transitioning to a fully digital submission process and will no longer accept applications submitted by mail or USPS delivery. Please do not mail paper copies of the application or supporting documents, as mailed submissions will not be reviewed.

Applicants should complete the online application form and upload all required documents before submitting. Once submitted, your application will be securely received by the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department scholarship committee for review.

Thank you for your cooperation as we move to a faster, more reliable, application process.
