Jacobs-Shaw Memorial Scholarships
The Jacobs-Shaw Scholarship Fund was established to honor two extraordinary individuals whose lives exemplified service, generosity, and a commitment to Emergency Medical Services in New Mexico.
The scholarship was originally created by the EMS Region III board of directors, Melinda Shaw recommended naming it in honor of Jerry Jacobs, a longtime Melrose resident who raised his family in the community and was known for his quiet generosity. Mr. Jacobs had a true servant’s heart and was recognized for anonymously helping individuals pursue educational opportunities they otherwise could not afford. His belief in investing in others continues through this scholarship.
In 2023, EMS Region III tragically lost Melinda Shaw in a line-of-duty motor vehicle accident. To honor her enduring legacy and lifelong dedication to EMS, the scholarship was renamed the Jacobs-Shaw Scholarship Fund. Anyone who knew Melinda can attest to her unwavering commitment to Emergency Medical Services throughout New Mexico. She consistently went above and beyond in service to others, and to know Melinda was to be her friend.
Today, the Jacobs-Shaw Scholarship Fund continues their shared legacy by helping remove financial barriers to EMS education. The scholarship provides reimbursement for a portion of EMS training costs to recently licensed EMTs in New Mexico, supporting the next generation of EMS professionals as they begin their careers in service to their communities.
