Scholarships Now Available for NENA’s New Diversity in 9-1-1 Leadership Program

NENA is excited to announce that its groundbreaking program aimed at promoting greater diversity and inclusion in our nation’s 9-1-1 centers is now accepting scholarship applications.

The Diversity in 9-1-1 Leadership Program provides scholarships to equip new and diverse voices with the skills, knowledge, and training necessary to advance to upper-level positions in 9-1-1 agencies and become tomorrow’s leaders.

Thanks to major support from T-Mobile, RapidDeploy, OnStar, and Microsoft, the program will provide seventy-five scholarships to NENA’s multi-day leadership and management courses to facilitate the advancement of under-represented populations within the 9-1-1 community.

The scholarships will increase the number of diverse participants in NENA’s three flagship education offerings: the Center Manager Certification Program, Center Supervisor Program, and Center Training Officer Program. The program is jointly administered by NENA’s Education Advisory Board and the NENA Diversity & Inclusion Special Committee.

Interested parties can learn more about the application procedure and apply for a scholarship here through the end of the year.
