Support is available for first responders and recovery workers who rushed to help when the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001. Firefighters, police officers, EMTs, construction workers, volunteers, and military service members who stepped forward during rescue and recovery efforts know how the sacrifices they made can affect their families as well as themselves. To honor their service, a number of organizations offer scholarships for children of 9/11 first responders, providing financial aid to help children of first responders pursue higher education at an accredited college or university, community college, or trade school.
If you were a 9/11 first responder or are a child of a 9/11 first responder, exploring scholarship opportunities, understanding eligibility requirements, and application steps can help you get started on your journey to higher education.
