SCHOLARSHIPS
A growing number of military friendly organizations are offering scholarships and
other financial aid to active duty Servicemembers, former Servicemembers, and
their dependants. Scholarships and financial aid are often based on need and merit,
not just prior education.
Before you begin your search, be sure that you understand the conditions of any
agreements you sign. Educate yourself about scholarships and student loans by reading
handbooks such as "Need a Lift".
Also review the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) information about scholarship
scams.
There are over 650 listed scholarships in the Military Community Scholarship & Financial
Aid Explorer (MCSFeX) platform that are particularly military friendly.
