Freedom Alliance Scholarship!
The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund was the vision of Freedom Alliance founders LtCol Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) and the late LtGen Edward Bronars, USMC. The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund honors Americans in their Armed Forces who have sacrificed life or limb defending their country by providing educational scholarships for their children.

The mission of the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund is two-fold. First, it helps offset the high cost of a college education for the sons and daughters of American heroes. Second, it is a reminder to the recipient that their parents’ sacrifice will never be forgotten by a grateful nation.
The dependent children of U.S. military personnel who have been killed or permanently disabled in an operational mission or training exercise are eligible to apply. Also eligible are students who have a parent classified as a Prisoner of War or Missing in Action.
The generosity of patriotic Americans has made it possible for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund to award more than $3 million in college scholarships to the sons and daughters of American heroes.
Applicants for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund must be one of the following: dependent son or daughter of a US soldier, sailor, airman, guardsman, or Marine who has been killed in action; dependent son or daughter of a US soldier, sailor, airman, guardsman, or Marine who has been classified as a Prisoner of War (POW) or Missing in Action (MIA).
To be eligible for a Freedom Alliance scholarship, applicants must also be in their senior year of high school, a high school graduate, or a currently enrolled full-time undergraduate student; under the age of 26 at the time of application; and have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
