The National Fire Academy is offering the Degrees at a Distance Program (DDP) Grant to facilitate accessible higher education for fire service personnel. This grant supports designated local two-year colleges and universities in developing curricula, marketing initiatives, and producing course materials for fire-related concentrations. Its primary goal is to provide an alternative pathway for fire service professionals to earn bachelor’s degrees or pursue college-level learning without requiring on-campus attendance. Funding is also allocated for regional meeting support and establishing institutional agreements, ensuring a robust and widespread network for distance education. The DDP aims to empower fire service individuals to advance their education and careers through flexible, remote learning opportunities.
