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.)
