Ivy Tech offers scholarships for volunteer firefighters, EMS 
(from 9/20/19 House News Update)
Ivy Tech Community College and the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association have joined forces to offer a scholarship to any active volunteer firefighter or emergency medical personnel in the state.The scholarship, available starting in the 2020-2021 school year, is open to both full- and part-time students seeking a degree, and covers tuition and technology fees at any of Ivy Tech’s 40-plus campuses.
The idea for the scholarship originated from a proposed bill by Indiana House Republicans during this year’s legislative session. Though the bill did not pass, Ivy Tech has launched the scholarship as a two-year pilot program. In 2022, state lawmakers will review the results for possible expansion.

With the majority of our state’s firefighters and EMS personnel serving as volunteers, the Public Safety Scholarship is a great opportunity for them to obtain needed skills to jumpstart or advance careers, and also encourage others to serve their communities. Visit IVFA’s website to learn more about this scholarship. You can apply through Ivy Tech online or by calling 888-489-5463.

Up to $30,000 in scholarships available for aspiring teachers
(from 9/20/19 House News Update)
High school seniors and college students interested in a career in education can apply for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship through Nov. 30. This renewable scholarship of up to $7,500 each year for four academic years is awarded to as many as 200 students. I supported legislation establishing this scholarship opportunity to encourage more high-achieving students to pursue a fulfilling career teaching in Hoosier classrooms.
A teacher nominates an applicant, who will submit a nomination form with their application and complete an interview. Interested students must be in the top 20 percent of their high school graduation class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT, attend a college in Indiana and teach in an Indiana classroom for five years after earning a degree. To learn more and apply for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, click here. Finalists will be selected by Jan. 10, 2020.

Young and Braun Introduce Gold Star Families Remembrance Week Resolution
(from 9/20/19 Press Release)

Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun  helped introduce a bipartisan resolution establishing the week of Sept. 22-29, 2019, as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week to honor the families of fallen members of the Armed Forces.
As a Marine, I know there is no more sacred duty than honoring our fallen soldiers and their families,” said Senator Young. “Recognizing the last week in September as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week is one small action we can take to pay tribute to our greatest heroes. This resolution honors Hoosiers like Sandy Terwiske, a Gold Star Mother who lost her son Lance Corporal Alec Terwiske during combat operations in Afghanistan.”

“Every fallen hero leaves behind a family that bears the pain of their great sacrifice for our country,”said Senator Braun.“Gold Star Families Remembrance Week will serve as a reminder that we must always honor our heroes’ families who have, as President Lincoln said, ‘laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.'”

Gold Star Families Remembrance Week is a prelude to Gold Star Mother’s Day, observed by presidential proclamation since 1936 on the last Sunday of September. There is no official date dedicated to families affected by the loss of a loved one who died in the service of the United States.
