This post is part of my ongoing Military Scholarships series. We’re really in the thick of the scholarship season now, which is both a blessing and a curse. It makes for a lot of work, but there are many wonderful opportunities and once they’re gone, they’re gone until next year. (Or forever, if they are only for graduating seniors.)

As with any other scholarship resource, verify eligibility, requirements and deadlines. We make every effort to ensure these listings are up-to-date, but we can’t guarantee it!

    I wonder how many of these organizations force service members to “donate.” We were forced for years. When people didn’t want to donate, their evaluations were threatened.

WELCOME!

Hi! I'm Kate! Accredited Financial Counselor®, Navy spouse, and mom of four.

Here at the blog, I talk about the financial issues that affect military families - pay, allowances, and benefits. Plus college stuff, landlording, moving, taxes. We cover a little bit of everything.

My goal is to give you the tools to make the best decisions right now, so you'll be confidently prepared for whatever comes next - whether that's a PCS move, transition to civilian life, or retirement.

So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever makes you happy, and let's get to know each other.
