Bartelso Blaze 
Tim Jansen Memorial Scholarship

Since 2016, the Bartelso Blaze, Lady Auxiliary for the Bartelso Volunteer Fire Department has offered memorial scholarships to honor their fallen firefighter, Tim Jansen. The Fire Department protects and serves our community by giving countless hours, dedication, and sacrificing their everyday life. At a moment’s notice, these men and women stop whatever they are doing, leaving their family behind to answer the call. Tim paid the ultimate price and we will never forget his bravery and sacrifice. So it is our privilege to offer these scholarships in his memory.


The Bartelso Blaze is offering two (2) $250 scholarships to any Bartelso Elementary School graduate attending Central or Mater Dei High School that currently has or had a family member on the Bartelso Volunteer Fire Department. Each awarded scholarship will be made payable to either Central or Mater Dei High School on behalf of the recipient to be used for educational books and fees for the 2022 - 2023 academic school year.


The applicant may only win once during their four years at Central or Mater Dei High School. Scholarship judge(s) are unbiased individuals and are not members of the Bartelso Volunteer Fire Department or community. Judge(s) will determine the scholarship winners and an alternate, if needed.


Note, you do not need to be an incoming freshman for this scholarship.  Any incoming freshman, sophomore, junior or senior can enter to win.  


All entries must be postmarked by Sunday, May 1, 2022. No late entries will be accepted. Each scholarship winner will be notified with a check that will be made payable to Central or Mater Dei High School on their behalf. The winners will also be acknowledged at an upcoming Bartelso Blaze and/or Fire Department meeting.
