The Bound Tree Medical scholarship is a national scholarship program that pays 50 percent of the program fee, up to $500 for basic and $2,500 for intermediate or paramedic students. Qualifying applicants who already have EMT certification but are interested in continuing their training to the paramedic level are also eligible. Applicants are eligible if their primary caregiver is an active or retired firefighter, EMT or paramedic, if they will attend a state-approved basic or intermediate EMT or paramedic program, and if they submit an application, one-page essay and two letters of recommendation.
