Marines make legendary sacrifices; sending their children to school shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation was established in 1962 to honor Marines by educating their children. The Scholarship Foundation is the nation’s oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships to military children and the only scholarship program awarding 100% of all eligible applicants. The 50,000+ scholarships it has awarded, valued at nearly $185 million, have delivered impact far beyond tuition assistance. They give opportunity to born leaders to create transformational outcomes. A trusted investment with high marks from leading charity watchdogs and a proven steward driven by powerful success metrics, the Scholarship Foundation creates inspiring results for Marine and Navy Corpsmen families and America’s future.
