“Our nation’s military families have made great sacrifices for our country, and if our country is to succeed and play a positive role in an international context, we must ensure access to post-secondary education for all of our citizens. Therefore, it is our mission to honor those sacrifices by educating their children to become the next generation of American leaders,” said Lt. Col. Ted Probert USMC (Retired), President and Chief management of the Foundation. “As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we are incredibly proud to say that we are providing more support to Marine families than ever before.”

This year, scholarship recipients such as Daniel Mirandawhose prize allows him to study English at Howard Community College.

“My father’s service in the Marine Corps was a big influence on me and my career goals. I learned about sacrifice, work ethic, and service.” Miranda said. “I am extremely grateful to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation for providing me with the support I needed to complete my degree.”
