About the Scholarship

Continuing Graham's Legacy

The Graham Hoffman Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in memory of fallen Firefighter/Paramedic Graham Hoffman. Graham dedicated his life to protecting others, and this scholarship continues his legacy by helping aspiring firefighters and paramedics pursue the training and education they need.

The fund is supported by proceeds from the annual Graham Hoffman Memorial Scholarship Ride, organized in partnership with Outlaw Harley-Davidson and Worth Harley-Davidson. Applications are reviewed by the Hoffman Scholarship Committee and approved by the HeroFundUSA Board of Directors.
