It is my greatest pleasure to announce Katelyn Glaser as our 2026 JDF Scholarship winner!! Hailing from Florida, Ms. Glaser has been serving her community as a paramedic for 13 years! She has also been registered nurse for three years and is currently enrolled in a Certified Nursing Anesthetist (CRNA) program. With a passion for helping others and a dedicated career in the healthcare field, Ms. Glaser epitomizes the spirit of the JDF Scholarship.

Thank you to the 700+ applicants! I truly wish we could offer larger scholarships more often and to more of you, but for now I can only send love and well wishes for success to each of you!

I want to send a huge thank you to everyone who is interested in applying this year to the JDF scholarship! We had over 700 applications total! So many brilliant young minds with so much to give, so much heart, and absolutely fantastic futures ahead of you. Please give us a little bit more time to review all of these applications. We definitely will have the winner announced by the end of the month.

This is not something that we normally do - but I wanted to share this movie because I think that it might be the absolute best depiction of paramedics. I think my dad could have written this.
