Daniel A. Terry Scholarship

The Daniel A. Terry Scholarship Fund provides higher education financial assistance to the children of California’s fallen firefighters.

Daniel A. Terry served as president of California Professional Firefighters, the largest statewide firefighter organization in California and founder of the California Fire Foundation. For more than three decades, Mr. Terry devoted himself to building a better life for California firefighters. His commitment and leadership led to groundbreaking protections for firefighters and their families.

Mr. Terry also conceived and led the successful effort to construct a lasting tribute to California’s fallen first responders – the California Firefighters Memorial in Sacramento’s Capitol Park.

If you are the son or daughter of a fallen California firefighter who is under 27 and either has a high-school diploma or is in the final year working toward that diploma, you could qualify to receive money for college.
