National Military Families Association Scholarships for Military Spouses
Financial Aid Information  >  Military Assistance
March 06, 2009   
 
If you are married to a service member, you may be eligible for scholarships awarded by the National Military Family Association.

The association awards several $500 to $1,000 scholarships each year. The Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarships are awarded to spouses of military members (including veterans, active-duty soldiers, and National Guard and Reservists). They can be used for spouses who are obtaining professional certification or to attend post-secondary or graduate schools.

Scholarship selection is based on the completion of survey questions, short-answer questions, and an essay question.

Scholarships include three categories: all military spouses; spouses of wounded soldiers; and survivors of soldiers who died post-9/11, while in active-duty service. People who are eligible for more than one category can submit multiple applications, but can only win one scholarship per year.

Visit the National Military Families Association for deadlines, eligibility rules and more information.
