Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is the nation's oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships to military children, with particular attention given to those with a parent who was killed or wounded in action, or who have demonstrated

Since 1775, Marines have selflessly served America, and for nearly 50 years the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has honored this service by educating their children. The privately-funded, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization provides scholarships for post-high school education and career training to deserving sons and daughters of Marines, and Navy Corpsmen with particular attention given to children whose parent has been killed or wounded in action. Additionally, the Scholarship Foundation's Heroes Tribute for the children of the Fallen Fund provides up to $30,000 over four years to every child of a Marine, or Navy Corpsman serving with Marines, who has been killed in combat since September 11, 2001.
