Earn While You Learn Grant Program
Attention Ambulance Services:
We’re excited to announce that applications are officially open for Minnesota’s “Earn While You Learn” training grant program!
The 2025 legislature has allocated $2 million to help ambulance services hire and train new EMTs—so your service can bring in fresh talent while they earn their certification.
This is a competitive grant program, and applications are due Friday, October 17, 2025, by 4:00 p.m. CT. Don’t miss this chance to invest in your workforce and strengthen your community’s EMS response.
 Visit the AST&S Grant Page for full eligibility requirements, application details, and deadlines.
