Through this partnership, one FSWO member will receive a full scholarship covering tuition for an eligible Dalhousie University Fire Leadership course, up to 12 weeks in length.
At FSWO, we believe leadership exists at every level of the fire service. Whether you're a firefighter, fire prevention professional, communicator, instructor, student, or aspiring leader, developing leadership skills can open doors to new opportunities and strengthen the fire service as a whole.
The successful applicant will have the flexibility to select an eligible course that aligns with their professional goals and complete it during the January, April, or September 2027 term.
You don't need to hold a formal leadership position to apply! We encourage members at all stages of their careers to consider this opportunity.
