Military Officers Association of America Scholarship Fund - American Patriot Scholarship

Some mothers and fathers paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.  Their children are survivors.  Help them achieve their undergraduate education and build a foundation for success.

Why do we exist?

After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Military Officers Association of America Scholarship Fund established the American Patriot Scholarship to help educate children whose military parent died while serving our country.  As a nation, we have a responsibility to help children whose mother or father paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms.  We provide grants for educational expenses (tuition, room and board, books, and incidental expenses) to help these children achieve a college education. 

What have you accomplished?

Since September 11, 2001, we have provided $1,703,750 in education grants to 362 children whose parent paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect America’s freedom.  Children like Matt whose father, a Navy E-6, was killed in a helicopter crash while working with a team searching crash sites in Viet Nam.  Matt and his sister were still in diapers. His mom, a widow, never dreamed her children would be able to go to college.  But with the American Patriot Scholarship from the Military Officers Association of America, both of her kids have graduated, are contributing to their communities, and leading successful lives. These children were not forgotten and their father’s sacrifice was rewarded.
