Numbers the grants ask for.
Every dollar from a workforce grant, ESD partnership, or private donor shows up here - in graduates, in certifications passed, in counties served, and in deployments made.
Year over year.
2026 is tracking to graduate more students than 2021 through 2023 combined. Growth is driven by new partnerships with rural ESDs, expanded EMS seats, and the launch of the Rescue Task Force program.
Certifications that stick.
State and national certification first-attempt pass rates will be published here once we have audited cohort outcomes from NREMT, TSFA, TCFP, and DPS/PSB.
Who we've trained.
Unique learners per program from our digital-learning platform, deduped so a student who took two courses only shows up once per program. Counts reflect the textbook-and-skills track only - instructor-led-only seats and continuing-ed hours are tracked separately.

Giving back to first responders.
TPSTA's community fundraisers underwrite the First Responder Scholarship, helping working firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and peace officers offset the cost of certification and continuing education. Every dollar raised goes directly to tuition support - here's what we've done so far.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors.
The businesses and organizations below backed our 2026 First Due 5K Fun Run and scholarship drive. Their generosity is what puts a tuition-paid certification in the hands of a working first responder. If your business would like to sponsor a future event, please get in touch.
Where the funding goes.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every dollar from tuition, partnerships, and grants is reinvested in training. Our most recent Form 990 and annual impact report are available on request - email admin@tpsta.org.
