As part of its commitment to serving those who serve our citizens, Walsh University is proud to launch the First Responders: Service to Scholars Program. Through this initiative, all first responders and their dependents who are accepted for admission are eligible for a 15% tuition discount on nearly all of Walsh University’s academic programs.*
First responders—including law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, volunteer and active duty firefighters, search and rescue members, dispatchers, and veterans—make tremendous sacrifices in support of their communities. Walsh University recognizes their dedication by providing access to flexible, high-quality educational programs designed to help them pursue career advancement and personal goals.
“Programs such as the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and others lend themselves ideally to first responders who benefit greatly from the additional medical training and credentialing,” said Dr. Kimberley Cleveland, Dean of Walsh University’s College of Health Sciences. “We want to be a resource for our community, not only as an extension of our mission, but to help build pathways for healthcare professionals and meet the needs of our citizens.”
Walsh University offers more than 30 online and graduate programs tailored to busy working adults, supported by wrap-around student services. Featured programs include the 2-year Fast Track Bachelor of Science in Nursing, the 10-month Online Accelerated MBA, the BBA in Accounting, Management, and Supply Chain Management, a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health or Health Sciences, and master’s degrees in Exercise Physiology, Counseling, and Nursing. A complete list of programs can be found at www.walsh.edu/online.
Walsh, a proud participant of the Yellow Ribbon program, is also a recognized military-friendly institution, earning the Collegiate Purple Star Award from the Ohio Department of Education for its support of military families, and ranking in the top 10 Military Friendly institutions among private colleges offering a doctorate.
Classes begin every eight weeks, making it easy for first responders or their dependents to get started. Verification of employment or volunteer service is required.
