The American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship Contest is open to high school seniors in the United States who plan to further their education at a college/university or certified trade school in the United States. The contest is designed to educate the public about fire sprinklers and how they save lives and property. The scholarship is not based on financial need. Relatives of AFSA staff or board members may not enter.

You must be a high school senior who will attend a college/university or trade school in the United States starting with the next fall semester.

Home-schooled students may apply as long as your course of study is equivalent to that of a senior in high school.

To enter go to: http://www.afsascholarship.org

All applicants must read the "Fire Sprinkler Essay" about automatic fire sprinklers and take a ten-question multiple-choice test. This is an open-book test and you may print out the paper beforehand for reference during testing. For each question answered correctly, students will receive one (1) entry into a drawing for one of ten $2,000 scholarships. For each question answered incorrectly, you will be given one more chance at the end of the exam to answer those questions correctly.

A total of ten (10) entries into the drawing is possible. Students are allowed only one opportunity to take the online test. Any attempt to enter under a different name, address, etc., will automatically disqualify the student without notification to the student. Before scholarship funds will be awarded, all information submitted on the application by the student will be verified. If ANY false or misleading information is submitted on the application, the student will be disqualified without notification to the student.
