Hope for the Warriors - Spouse/Caregiver Scholarships
The Spouse/Caregiver Scholarship program identifies, recognizes, and rewards spouses/caregivers for their strength, fidelity, and resolve despite adversity. Scholarships aid in continued education at a reputable, accredited university, college, or trade school for spouses/caregivers as they assume critical roles in the financial well being of their families.
Scholarship awards are $5,000 to be made co-payable to the scholarship recipient's institution for payment of tuition, books and supplies and may be reapplied for up to four years for a maximum of $20,000. The application process is the same for new applicants and renewals.
Five total awards will be given. The winners of The Shannon Maxwell Award, The Bonnie Amos Award, The Karin Dickerson Award, and The Robin Kelleher - New Beginnings Award, the last of which is awarded specifically to the spouse of a KIA, will each receive $5,000.
Additionally this spring, The Sidney Popkin Memorial Scholarship was added by Mr Ivins "Itchy" Popkins in honor of his brother Sidney Popkin. This $1,250 award memorializes the values he held dear.
