Bryant Gladney Foundation

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 in scholarships, and in 2026 we will award another
