SALT LAKE CITY — Utah firefighters and their immediate relatives are eligible for $1,000 scholarships from a fund that once was available only to families of fallen firefighters. The fund totals $20,000.

The money was donated by Utah businessman Zane Gray, who owns Elite Fire Systems.

"My first hope is that every firefighter comes home the night of a fire," Gray said. "My second hope is that firefighters know how much we appreciate their daily sacrifice."

More information can be found at www.UtahFallenHeroes.com , including application forms.

The deadline for applications is July 1; the scholarships will be awarded July 11.
