More than one million dependents have been affected by the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan and 87 percent of them do not qualify for
federal scholarship assistance. Folds of Honor, a 501(c)(3)
charitable organization with a mission to empower deserving
military families with educational support and opportunities, is
helping fill that gap by providing educational scholarships for
children and spouses of military service men and women killed or
disabled while serving our great nation.
Folds of Honor is currently accepting applications for both
immediate and future-use scholarships. Scholarships can be used
immediately, or can be held with the Foundation on behalf of young
children until their time of enrollment. For more information on
eligibility and to download applications, visit
www.foldsofhonor.org/scholarships. The deadline for submission is
May 31, 2012.
The scholarships can be used to subsidize the costs of tuition,
school books, fees, room and board, special tools and equipment
necessary for coursework, school-approved tutoring, and any other
expense that the school in which the student is enrolled may deem
appropriate and unmet.
Through these scholarships, Folds of Honor is able to present an
ongoing tribute to our brave service members by ensuring that the
families of fallen and wounded warriors have hope for the right
educational start to life and best future possible.
"We encourage everyone who qualifies to apply," said Major Dan
Rooney, Folds of Honor founder. "We've seen a huge outpouring of
the American spirit over the past five years. Because of this
generosity, we're able to make an impact in the lives of so many
deserving families."
Since its inception, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 2,600
educational scholarships. More information can be found at
www.foldsofhonor.org.
