Application Guidelines

HISTORY
The Hugh Anderson Scholarship Fund was founded in the memory of Hugh Anderson, Fire Inspector for Bullhead City Fire Department. Hugh was a very vocal and active supporter of AFBEA. Each year, Hugh and his wife Barbara donated many hours to the Characterization Conference and any project that supported fire and life safety programs. At his death, Barbara designated AFBEA as a place for donations in his memory. As a result, the Hugh Anderson Scholarship Fund was started. It was AFBEA’s intent to honor his commitment and dedication to educational efforts in the fire service by providing a monetary source for other Educators to be able to attend conferences and workshops.

Any paid member of AFBEA may apply for funds to attend an educational conference or workshop.
