First Responders Grant

Gardner-Webb University is dedicated to the educational success of our public servants, and through the First Responders Grant, eligible students can receive a 20% tuition grant renewable through the completion of a DCP/Graduate program.

The First Responders Grant is truly a blessing because it allows our first responders to further their education at a minimal cost. I commend Gardner-Webb University for recognizing first responders who sacrifice so much daily for their communities and nation.
