UMT Launches First Responder Scholarship Program
ARLINGTON,
Virginia, January 14, 2019
The University of Management and Technology
(UMT) is pleased to recognize the contributions of First Responders with the
creation of the UMT First Responder Scholarship program.
This needs-based
scholarship is offered to eligible federal, state, and local police officers,
paramedics, emergency medical services personnel, and firefighters. The
scholarship reduces the cost per credit-hour from $390 to $250, waives most
fees, and qualifies participation in the UMT Book Loan
program.
"Emergency responders put their lives on the line every day to
protect the people in the communities they serve." Dr. J. Davidson Frame,
Academic Dean of the University said, "UMT is proud to offer this new
scholarship as a way to show our sincere gratitude for those brave men and women
by supporting them to continue their education and expand their career
possibilities."
To qualify for this scholarship, applicants must:
- Complete the UMT Application
- Provide proof of service
documentation
- Enroll in two or more academic courses per
enrollment
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0
(undergraduate) or 3.0 (graduate)
