The life of a First Responder is difficult. In
addition to strenuous and dangerous work,
the hours are long for the salary you earn.
To maintain a high level of professionalism
throughout your life, you must acquire the same
educational opportunities as those you protect.
A liberal arts college education gives you the skills
to deal with the life- and property-threatening
situations you encounter every day. To thank you
for your service and better equip you to make
critical decisions with the problems you face,
Benedictine University has created the First
Responder Program, funded by the University
and a federal grant, to give scholarships to first
responders. This allows you the opportunity to
earn a quality college degree. |
