Scholarships for military children:
Commissaries accepting applications starting Dec. 15

FORT LEE, Va. — Now entering its
16th year, the Scholarships for Military
Children Program will be accepting appli-
cations from eligible students beginning
Dec. 15 at commissaries worldwide or on
the Internet at www.militaryscholar.org.
A total of 700 scholarship grants,
each worth $2,000, will be awarded for
the 2016-17 school year. Those students
selected for the honor will join nearly
9,000 who’ve been awarded more than
$13.9 million in scholarship grants over
the last 15 years.
At least one scholarship will be award-
ed at every commissary location where
qualified applications are received. Ad-
ditional recipients will be selected based
on a prorated basis, so more scholarships
will be awarded at those commissaries
with larger numbers of applicants.
To qualify for consideration, applicants
must be a dependent, unmarried child,
younger than 21 years old — or 23, if en-
rolled as a full-time student at a college or
university — of a service member on active
duty, Guard or Reserves, retiree, survivor
of a military member who died while on
active duty, or survivor of a retiree.
Applications must be hand-delivered

and a donation to a charity of your choice. The
tournament will be using the scramble format and

or shipped via U.S. Postal Service or other
delivery methods to the commissary where
the applicant’s family normally shops by
close of business Friday, Feb. 12, 2016.
Applications cannot be emailed or faxed.
Applicants should ensure they and their
sponsor are enrolled in the Defense Enroll-
ment Eligibility Reporting System database
and have a military ID card. The applicant
must attend or plan to attend an accredited
college or university, full time, in the fall of
2016 or be enrolled in studies designed to
transfer to a four-year program.
Students who are awarded a full schol-
arship or receive an appointment to one
of the military academies or affiliated
preparatory schools are not eligible to
receive funds from this program. A full
scholarship is usually defined as one that
provides for payment of tuition, books,
lab fees and other expenses.
The commissary’s industry partners
— vendors, suppliers and manufactur-
ers — and the general public donate
money to the program, and every dollar
donated goes directly toward funding the
scholarships.
