Bob and Linda Helmer Scholarship
The Bob and Linda Helmer Scholarship for Access and Success provides students with encouragement and financial assistance to persist and graduate from BW.
On the occasion of President Bob Helmer's retirement from Baldwin Wallace in June 2024, the BW Board of Trustees, along with members of the BW community, established the Bob and Linda Helmer Scholarship for Access and Success.
Known for their care and connections with students, alumni and friends, Bob and Linda will always be recognized for the value they placed on community and the student experience. Throughout Bob’s twelve-year tenure as president, BW provided thousands of students with extraordinary educations, preparing them for success while addressing the workforce needs of the 21st century.
The Bob and Linda Helmer Scholarship for Access and Success will continue the Helmers’ commitment, providing students with encouragement and financial assistance to persist and graduate from BW while knowing their dreams and goals are within reach.
Bob and Linda’s dedication to the BW community has left an indelible mark on BW students and alumni. Please help celebrate the Helmers’ legacy by making a gift to the Bob and Linda Helmer Scholarship for Access and Success.
