QUINCY, Mass.--The National Fire Protection Association announced Jan. 8 it had established a scholarship in the name of Arthur E. Cote, who retired last month from the NFPA. Cote is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the leading authorities on fire sprinkler protection and technology. The Arthur E. Cote Scholarship will recognize and offer support for individuals pursuing a career in fire protection engineering.
Cote joined the NFPA in 1977. Prior to his recent retirement, he was executive vice president and chief engineer overseeing 10 operating departments. A college or university will be allowed to nominate one or two full- or part-time undergraduate students enrolled in a fire protection engineering program who intend to pursue a career in fire safety engineering and exhibit scholarship achievement, leadership qualities and concern for others/volunteerism.
A minimum of one scholarship per year of at least $5,000 will be awarded to one or more undergraduate students.
