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!

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!
And please, please come back and let me know if you are awarded any of these scholarships. I love to know that my efforts are producing results!
Stay Informed!
Let me help you keep up-to-date on your military pay and benefits! Subscribe now for my newsy emails, which come about once every two weeks.
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.
What organization was that? I’m positive that is illegal.
