SUPPORT MACEM&PS
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
As a community college department first and foremost, our students have big dreams – and they work hard to bring them to life.
But whether it’s the cost of a textbook for that one extra class on their favorite topic, the financial burden of a disaster deployment, or something in between, they too often face down finances as one more hurdle along the way.
Supporting any of our scholarship programs means lending a critical hand at the most meaningful time, and helping the next generation of public safety leaders earn their seat at the table, no matter their background or circumstances.

MACEM&PS Scholarship Fund
Our department’s general purpose scholarship fund, created to help any MACEM&PS student reduce any of the everyday financial barriers they might face – from times where “low cost” textbooks are still too expensive, to times when a little help paying for one more course will make the difference between graduating or not.
