A number of Institutions do waive tuition (not books or lab fees) for courses in the FPT (Fire Protection Technology) programs in Texas. I'm not sure about four year Degrees being included in this program however, nor do I know much about other regions. For myself, I'm trying to get back to working on two Associates' now, a local FPT one, and that Emergency Management one partly based on my EMI coursework on line.
Unfortunately for me, several job attempts have left barely one foot in the door. Often it's due to not having yet completed the four year type Degrees. Some places still accept your Apps however, even if you don't meet qualifications. Better to have it in, that pass it up.
