August Military Scholarships for Service Members, Veterans, Spouses and Kids

This post is part of my ongoing Military Scholarships series. I know I said the last few months were slow, but this month is just sad 🙁 I’m thinking that it is a great time to get started on the applications that will be due later on this year.

Since August is such a slow month, it can’t hurt to get started on September! (Scholarships below are in early September and will be included in the next scholarship post too.)

Although this next one isn’t due until mid-November, the application opens August 1, so you may as well get started!

If you belong to an organization that has a scholarship for military service members, veterans, spouses, kids, or other family members, please let me know. I’d love to include it in my list!
