Folds of Honor Seeking Educational Scholarship Applications
Families of Fallen or Wounded Soldiers Are Encouraged to Apply
(firmenpresse) - OWASSO, OK -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/12 -- 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 . 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 .
