The First Responder tuition rate is our normal metro campus tuition rates, but all
students are eligible to receive a First Responder Scholarship, which essentially
reduces your “net tuition” to equal that of Webster's active duty military students The program is available
to qualified First Responders who are undergraduate and graduate students enrolled
at any U.S. campus or online. Flat-fee degree programs are excluded (Undergraduate
Flat-fee, Conservatory, MA International Nongovernmental Organizations and Nurse Anesthesia;
no active-duty rate is offered for these programs). Additionally, the scholarship
is not retroactive to previous terms of enrollment.
First Responder organizations with the potential for 20 to 25 students may qualify
for a cohort group, available in the classroom, online or in a combination of the
two.
