Scholarships for Military High School Students

Hi, I'm a high school student from a military family and I'm looking to lessen the financial burden of college. Does anyone know about scholarships specifically for military high school students?

Absolutely, there are multiple scholarships designed to aid military-dependent students. Here are few you might consider:

1. The Fry Scholarship: This scholarship provides Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to the children and surviving spouses of service members who died in the line of duty while on active duty after September 10, 2001.

2. Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) Scholarship Fund: They offer interest-free loans, grants, and the American Patriot Scholarship to students under age 24, who are children of former, currently serving, or retired commissioned or warrant officers, and for children of enlisted personnel.

3. The ThanksUSA Scholarships: Specific for children or spouses of active-duty US military personnel, this is a need-based scholarship that rewards students for community service and academic excellence.

4. Fisher House Foundation Scholarships for Military Children: Open to the children of active-duty, reserve/guard, or retired military commissary customers. They award at least one $2000 scholarship at every commissary location with qualified applicants.

5. Army Scholarship Foundation: They offer varying scholarships to children of current or former Army service members or spouses of current Army service members.

Remember to go through each scholarship's requirements and deadlines carefully. Start the process early to maximize your chances and apply to as many as you qualify for to increase your chances of getting aid. Best of luck!
