The College Grant Program has been expanded to include both U.S. Military children and spouses who have either lost a loved one as a result of the Afghanistan or Iraq wars, those whose loved one died at home in an automobile, motorcycle or other illness or disease, including suicide who served overseas in either war and severely disabled veterans and their children.
The second objective is to help the surviving members of these families with financial assistance as well as severely disabled veteran families. Their goal is to make awards to applicants in need, some whose funds were raised in their particular State that have children 18 and under, and who are in need of assistance with housing, repars, utilities, medical expenses, groceries, clothing, school supplies and other expenses deemed necessary in order to help alleviate their need.
The financial assistance program assists disabled service member families as well. Donations come from families, individuals, and businesses throughout the World. Those that raise funds on their own may chose to help families within their State. The Administrative Management expenses ratio has been between 3-8% since they have been in existence, which means the balance is used for helping support our military and their families.
The Grant Committee has awarded $190,946.00 in College Scholarships to help surviving children and spouses affected by a loss, (awards are disbursed during the Spring and Fall semesters) $108,146.00 in financial assistance to surviving families with children under the age of 18 and have provided more than $205,000.00 in assistance to our severely disabled military families since receiving our first applications in 2005.
What a great way to make a difference and to say THANK YOU for your sacrifice!
