SFPE Scholarship Public Service Announcement

Scholarships are available to encourage a career in Fire Protection Engineering.

The Northern California/Nevada Chapter of the Society of  Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) is pleased to announce its scholarship offering.  The purpose of the scholarship is to promote interest and public awareness of the science and practice of Fire Protection Engineering, and to encourage study for a career related to Fire Protection Engineering.

Past awards have ranged from $1,000 to $2,500.  Candidates should be a permanent resident of the geographic area served by the Chapter.  More than one scholarship may be awarded, depending on the number and quality of applications received.

What is a Fire Protection Engineer (FPE)?  A Fire Protection Engineer applies science and engineering principles to protect people, homes, workplaces, the economy and the environment from the devastating effects of fires.  Fire Protection Engineers analyze how buildings are used, how fires start and grow, and how fires affect people and property.  They use the latest technologies to design systems to control fires, alert people to danger, and provide means for escape.  FPEs also work closely with other professionals, including engineers of other disciplines, architects, state and local building officials, and local fire departments to build fire safe communities.  FPEs are in high demand.  The number of available jobs far exceeds the supply.

The purpose of the Society is to advance the science and practice of Fire Protection Engineering and its allied fields, to maintain a high ethical standard among its members, and to foster fire protection engineering education.
