Dulles, VA — Those who defend our freedom know all too well the costs and sacrifices associated with serving in the United States Armed Forces.

To show gratitude on behalf of the American people, Freedom Alliance offers sholarships to the children of these heroes.

More than $3 million has been awarded to hundreds of Freedom Alliance Scholarship recipients since 2002.

“Families of killed or permanently disabled service members face hardships that most Americans can not imagine,” Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon said.

An eligible applicant must be the dependent son or daughter of a U.S. soldier, sailor, airman, Marine or Guardsman who has been killed or permanently disabled (100 percent VA disability rating) in an operational mission or training accident, or who is currently classified as a Prisoner of War (POW) or Missing in Action (MIA).

They must also be a high school senior or registered as a full time undergraduate student and under the age of 26.

To learn more about the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund and/or to apply please visit http://www.fascholarship.com/ or call 800-475-6620.

The application deadline is July 31.
