Eligibility:
National Military Family Association scholarship funds are for military ID-carrying spouses only (active duty, retiree, Reserve, National Guard, and/or survivor). If you are selected for a scholarship, you must prove you are a military spouse. If not, the scholarship funds will be given to another spouse who can.
If selected for a scholarship, you must be able to enroll in your school or program and show proof to us by April 1, 2013. Otherwise, the funding will be given to another military spouse.
If you are no longer a military ID-carrying spouse, you must notify us immediately in writing. If you attempt to use scholarship funds after turning in your military ID cards without telling us, you may be required to repay us for any funds used after you leave the military. Funding is intended only for spouses with current military ID cards.
National Military Family Association members of the Board of Governors, Board of Advisors, Volunteers, employees, and their immediate families (spouses, parents, children, and their spouses or children) or those living in the same household, whether related or not, are not eligible to apply.
