Does anyone know of scholarships meant for children of veterans? My dad served in the military, and I'm hoping to find some opportunities that recognize and support families like ours for college funding.
Yes, there are several scholarships available specifically for the children of veterans.
1. The "American Legion Legacy Scholarship": This scholarship is for the children of U.S. military members who died while on active duty on or after September 11, 2001.
2. "AMVETS National Scholarship Program": AMVETS offers scholarships to children and grandchildren of U.S. veterans.
3. "Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation": If your father was a Marine or Navy Corpsman who served with Marines, you might be eligible for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.
4. "ThanksUSA Scholarship Program": This program offers scholarships to dependent children of U.S. military service personnel.
5. "Army Scholarship Foundation": Provides children of current or former Army service members with scholarships.
