Rural High School Concurrent Firefighter Academy:

Each student in the Rural High School Concurrent Firefighter Academy must be sponsored by a local career or volunteer fire department. As part of their sponsorship, students will be added to their sponsoring department's roster as junior firefighters and can participate in any firefighter activities authorized by their department. In return, the sponsoring fire department agrees to provide the necessary structural firefighter PPE for the student’s participation in the academy.

 

If a student needs help finding a fire department willing to sponsor them, they can contact the fire program director at joebe@okstate.edu for local contacts. However, students are responsible for directly contacting fire departments to request sponsorship.

 

Concurrent students receive a tuition waiver but are responsible for any class fees.
