NJEPA Scholarship Program Throughout its history, the New Jersey Emergency Preparedness Association has always sought to better Emergency Management and Emergency Services in the State of New Jersey. In addition to the training and breakout sessions offered by the State and Regions Subject Matter Experts, NJEPA strives to recognize the Emergency Managers (public and private) who are making a difference in their communities today as well as support and encourage the Emergency Managers of the future. This is accomplished, in one part, through our Awards Program. Please review the NJEPA Scholarship Program here and on our website and consider who in your community is deserving of these honors. |
