The Pennsylvania Burglar & Fire Alarm Association has once again elected to take part in the ESA Youth Scholarship Program for 2010.

PBFAA will be awarding two scholarships to students of police officers and firefighters. A child of each will be eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship. The chapter’s top winner will go on to compete at the national level for an opportunity to win either a $7,500 scholarship or a $2,500 scholarship. The deadline for students to submit their application to PBFAA is March 1, 2010.

ESA launched the Youth Scholarship Program in 1996 to promote goodwill among the electronic systems industry and police and fire officials by providing college scholarship awards to their deserving sons or daughters. Through the Youth Scholarship Program, thousands of dollars have been given to students attending higher education institutions across our country. In fact, more than $300,000 has been given out by the participating states and ESA.
