The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) is pleased to announce a new education partnership with Waldorf University, providing Fire Hero Families with meaningful opportunities to pursue higher education with flexibility and support.

Waldorf University offers online and on-campus programs designed for busy adult learners, with benefits available exclusively to eligible Fire Hero Family members.

Partner Benefits Include:

  • A 10% tuition discount for Fire Hero Families on online certificates, associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs.
  • Exclusive access to apply for the Online Learning Partner Scholarship, awarded six times per year.
  • An annual $15,000 on-campus scholarship for Fire Hero Families to attend Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa, renewable each year while eligibility and partner status are maintained.


Waldorf’s programs offer 8-week courses with no set class times, allowing students to complete coursework on their own schedules. Courses are taught by experienced faculty, and Waldorf staff provide personalized support throughout your education journey.

This partnership is part of the NFFF’s ongoing commitment to support Fire Hero Families with tools and resources that honor your loved one’s legacy and help you build a strong foundation for the future.
