R. C. Hentges Scholarship

In 1997, the Iowa Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators created the R.C. Hentges Scholarship Program in honor of Reynold C. Hentges, 1st President and Life Member of the Iowa Chapter when it was reorganized in 1983. The program is funded by the Iowa Chapter and is awarded to a student that is entering an accredited college within the State of Iowa that is majoring in the Fire Service, Law Enforcement, Legal (prosecution), Fire Protection Engineering, Fire Protection Technology or Insurance (investigation) professions.



Each year the Chapter offers two scholarships. Each scholarship is $500.00, to be paid one-half each of the first two semesters.

All applications and references must be submitted to our office by July 1. If you have any questions, contact our Scholarship Committee Chairman, Bob Burns at (563) 243-2414 or any Chapter Officer or your community college.
