The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation honors Marines by educating their children. Founded in 1962, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is the nation's oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships to military children. For more than half a century, we've been providing access to affordable education for the children of Marine and Navy Corpsman attending post-high school, under-graduate and career technical education programs. In that time, we have provided more than 40,000 scholarships valued at nearly $125 million.
