First Responders Legacy Scholarship Interest Form

Honoring service to Community and Country

McDaniel honors service to community and country. Veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders — along with their children — are eligible for a Legacy Scholarship valued at up to $132,000 ($33,000 annually for residential students; $22,000 for commuters). This recognition helps make McDaniel accessible to families who serve.

You may be eligible if:

Your parent/guardian is a full-time, benefits-eligible first responder with at least four consecutive years of current employment as a law enforcement officer, career firefighter, or licensed EMT/paramedic, or 911 dispatcher.
This includes children of first responders who died in the line of duty, regardless of years of service.

All admissible first year and transfer students who would like to be considered for this scholarship must complete and submit the form below.

Once we receive your interest form, we will send an email with a secure link to the designated individual you provide below to complete the electronic First Responder Legacy Scholarship Eligibility Form.
