Any Military Kids?

I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before today… are there any MT or Acting kids whose parents are in the military here in the forum?

If there are, I’m happy to post some excellent scholarships that are available. PM me, or reply here and I’ll share.

I have a dancer- close but no cigar? We are an AD Marine Corps family.

Yes! My daughter is MT hopeful. We are an AD Army family and would love to hear about possible scholarships!

Well, I’m retired military and if my D is eligible every little bit helps - especially since I wasn’t able to transfer my GI Bill benefits to my kids.

One of my students who is applying for MT this year is a military kid . . . would love to know about any scholarships!

@kksmom5 - I have transferred GI Bill education benefits but would love to learn more about similar scholarships. Your screen name is not populating in the PM feature. Can you please PM me with info? Thanks!

Here you go!

  • Silent Warrior (USMC Force Recon)
  • Force Recon Association
  • Folds of Honor
  • Freedom Alliance
  • Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation
  • Thanks USA
  • No Greater Sacrifice (this scholarship is amazing, as are the people who award it)
  • Children of Warriors National Presidents' Scholarship (American Legion) (my daughter did not receive this scholarship, but applied)

Not sure if all of these scholarship programs are still active as my daughter graduated in 2016, but here’s what she applied to that are military based. Clearly her dad was a Marine… he was also a combat vet, and has a high disability rating.

For my daughter, with these combined scholarships, her artistic awards, and academic merit aid, she had a full ride at Otterbein. It was a lot of work applying to all of these, but it was 100% worth the effort.

Check out AMVETS scholarships too.

If anyone is a child of an officer, I’d suggest to join MOAA. They give interest free loans to students that aren’t selected for their scholarships.
