Waldorf College is proud to award eight scholarships for online students and two scholarships for residential students in 2012 through the Hero Behind the Hero Scholarship Program. Waldorf recognizes the sacrifices made by the family members of America’s military men and women, and public safety personnel (firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs & dispatchers).
In appreciation of their support, five scholarships (four online scholarships and one residential scholarship) will be awarded to the spouse and child of an active military man or woman and five scholarships (four online scholarships and one residential scholarship) will be awarded to the spouse or child of active public safety personnel.
