Despite the excellent educational benefits paid to many active duty military, veterans, and dependents, some have exhausted their benefits before finishing their degrees. Even for those who actively receive benefits, financial hardships may still exist while going to school. If these scenarios describe your situation and you are active duty, a veteran, a spouse of either, or the surviving spouse of a military member, I highly recommend applying for the Tillman Military Scholarship.
Both undergraduate and graduate students may apply.
The scholarships can cover not only direct study-related expenses such as tuition and fees, but also other needs, including housing and child care. Since the program’s inception, the Pat Tillman Foundation has invested over $4.1 million in scholarships to 290 scholars nationwide. Applicants should have a strong desire to continue to serve others and to make a positive impact on their communities.
The average annual award amount last year was enough to pay for a semester of almost any of ASU’s graduate programs, and awards are often made for multiple years. Moreover, ASU is a Partner University with the Tillman Foundation, so our applicants are three times more likely to receive a scholarship than an applicant from a non-partner university.
So far, we have not seen the type of response rate we’ve seen in prior years – don’t wait until the last minute!
The deadline for applications will be 11:59pm EST, on Thursday, March 6, 2014.
