Brian Chellios Memorial Scholarship
Brian Chellios was a beloved brother and son who devoted his life to the fire service for twenty-five years before he passed away. At the time of his passing, he was serving as fire chief, a position he had spent his whole career working towards. He began as a cadet at the age of 15 and moved up the ranks as a lieutenant, to deputy chief and finally to fire chief.
There are many brave men and women who have chosen the fire service career path, dedicating their days to protecting others, saving homes and buildings, and protecting the environment. Many of these selfless individuals endure injuries on the job, with some even making the ultimate sacrifice and giving their lives in service of others.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Brian Chellios by supporting the next generation of brave fire service workers.
Any high school senior, trade school or undergraduate student pursuing fire science, fire service, or EMS with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
