are you looking for a scholarship for the training to become an FF/EMT or a scholarship for college? when you join all the training is free and the department will usually pay for any class you can find.
as far as college goes they have a scholarship called the new york state volunteer recruitment and retention act. Each department chooses 1 person ( either under 23 or over 23 with less than a year in the dept). the state will pay for college up to the SUNY tuition for any school within 50 miles. they also just passed a bill (or are currently working on one) that you can go to any school and have the state pay for it as long as you volunteer your services to the local fire/ems company.
