Frankenmuth, MI — In celebration of EMS Week 2026, Ninth Brain is proud to continue its annual tradition of supporting EMS professionals through educational opportunities.

Following the momentum of past years, Ninth Brain remains committed to investing in those who serve communities across the nation. The scholarship program—which has supported over one hundred EMS professionals through previous EMS Week initiatives—continues to reflect the organization’s long‑standing dedication to uplifting the EMS community.
Each scholarship recipient will receive full conference registration to EMS World Expo 2026. In addition, in‑person attendees will receive a $500 Visa gift card to assist with travel expenses, ensuring greater accessibility for all. Winners are also invited to stop by the Ninth Brain booth during the conference for a photo opportunity and exclusive Ninth Brain swag.
“EMS World Expo continues to expand each year as the largest and most impactful educational and networking experience for EMS professionals worldwide,” stated Jonathan Bassett, Senior Content and Program Director of EMS World. “We’re proud to renew this very popular partnership with Ninth Brain in allowing deserving EMS providers the opportunity to expand their expertise and engage with the top voices in prehospital care.”
“At Ninth Brain, we work behind the scenes to help EMS agencies stay prepared, compliant, and focused on what matters most — their people and their patients,” said Holly Taylor, Co‑Owner of Ninth Brain. “While we may not be on the front lines, we see the demands this profession places on individuals and organizations every single day. EMS providers carry an extraordinary responsibility, often with limited time, resources, and recognition. These scholarships are our way of saying thank you in a tangible, celebratory way. EMS Week is about honoring the past, supporting the present, and investing in the future of this profession — and we’re proud to stand alongside the EMS community in that mission.”
The scholarships are open to EMS Professionals across the United States who are 18 years of age or older. The application window opens on Monday, May 18th and closes on June 9th, 2026. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an extraordinary event!
