The Bryant Gladney Foundation was created with one goal in mind: to build future generations of exceptional paramedics, honoring the memory of the incredible paramedic and educator Bryant Gladney, who lost his life in the line-of-duty.

We do this by offering tuition scholarships to students going through a Paramedic course across the country. Each semester, we offer five $1,500 scholarships to students who display a strong passion for serving their community and who plan to pursue a life-long career in emergency medicine. We have two opportunities to apply: Apply by July 1 for an award in September; or Apply by December 1 for an award in February. 

We also invest in the future generations of Paramedics by offering continuing education opportunities for current medics. The second annual All-Star EMS Conference will be held in McKinney, Texas, on February 20-21, 2026.

All of our programs are run by volunteers, and we rely on donations and sponsors to make our mission come true. So far, we have been able to award $42,000 in scholarships, and in 2026 we will award another $15,000.
