Our goal is to award at least one to two scholarship grants each year, ensuring that the children and grandchildren of those who served have the opportunity to achieve their dreams through access to quality education.
This program provides aid in two key areas:
- Private Schooling for Children: Assistance to help Veteran families cover tuition costs for school-aged children attending private or specialized schools.
- Scholarships for Graduating Seniors: Annual scholarship awards to support high school graduates from Veteran families as they continue their education at colleges, universities, or trade schools.

Why Education Matters
We recognize that Veterans and their families often face unique challenges that can make educational opportunities harder to access. By reducing financial stress and offering direct assistance, we aim to empower children and grandchildren to thrive academically and personally. These scholarships and tuition supports are not only an investment in education but also a way to honor the sacrifices made by their families.
