Subject: FW: Military Spouse Scholarships via NMFA

Please pass this important scholarship info to all A&FRCs.


Fisher House Foundation Joins NMFA to Give Military Spouses the Gift of
Education: Military spouses now have a larger scholarship pool to draw
from thanks to a new partnership between the National Military Family
Association (NMFA) and Fisher House Foundation. This collaboration will
enable the Association to expand the NMFA Joanne Holbrook Patton
Military Spouse Scholarship Program to many more deserving spouses.
NMFA's Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarships are awarded
to military spouses to obtain professional certification or to attend
post secondary or graduate school. Scholarships normally range from $500
to $1,000 and may be used for tuition, fees, and school room and board.
Spouses of uniformed service members (active duty, National Guard and
Reserve, retirees, and survivors) of any branch or rank are eligible to
apply. Applications are accepted online January 15 through March 15,
2008.
"Through our partnership with the Defense Commissary Agency, in seven
years, we have been able to provide more than $5.5 million in
scholarship grants to more than 3,500 military children. We are
partnering with the NMFA to be able to expand our grants to military
spouses," said David A. Coker, President, Fisher House Foundation. "We
are impressed with the scope of the NMFA program and are confident they
will award the scholarship grants to the most deserving spouses.
