Description

The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund is for the children of military personnel who have been killed or have been deemed 100 percent totally and permanently disabled from a combat mission or training accident. Applicants may be a dependent son or daughter of a U.S. Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardsman, or Marine who has been killed in action. Applicants may also be a dependent son or daughter of a U.S. Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardsman, or Marine who has become 100 percent totally and permanently disabled as a direct result of a combat mission, with priority given to those who have a single combat-related disability rated at 70 percent or more. This does not apply to Servicemembers who are Silver Star or Purple Heart medal recipients, as they only need a combined 100 percent total and permanent disability rating. The qualifying parent must have received an honorable discharge. Applicants may also be a dependent son or daughter of a U.S. Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardsman, or Marine who suffered a major limb amputation due to enemy action; been classified as a Prisoner of War (POW) or as Missing in Action (MIA); been awarded the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Air Force Cross, or the Coast Guard Cross; and been involved in a training accident that resulted in the death of the Servicemember or caused an immediate inability to continue serving (immediate discharge based on the injury at 100 percent total and permanent disability and qualifying parent must have received an Honorable discharge). Applicants may be currently in the spring semester of their senior year of high school, a high school graduate, or currently enrolled as a full-time undergraduate, vocational, or trade school student (having previously graduated high school). Freedom Alliance scholarships are only for use towards undergraduate, trade, or vocational programs. Scholarship award is only applicable to a first degree program. New applicants who have previously graduated from an undergraduate program and received a degree are not eligible for scholarship awards. Freedom Alliance Scholarships are renewable for up to three years, for a total of four years. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Freedom Alliance for more information.
