Scholarships For Military Children

Jay Said:

Can Military Children get In-State Tuition in a state they just moved from?

We Answered:

NO, you're no different than any other kid whose parents moved because dad's job changed location. There's no silly waiver allowances because he's in the military.

If you want to go to college out-of-state GET A JOB so you can pay out-of-state tuition, or just make a more mature decision and attend college in-state.

Lillie Said:

Where can I find scholarships or grants specifically for children who parent was in the military?

We Answered:

Here you go. This link has many scholarships that are condition specific.
For your particular request look under the section for military scholarships.
Good Luck.

Dora Said:

Know of Any Scholarships for Military Children?

We Answered:

Oh yeah, there are a ton! States have grants, branches of the military have scholarships, and many many schools offer institutional awards for military kids. There are so many groups offering military-related scholarships that your best bet is probably to sign up for several online scholarship searches.

When you're filling out a profile, you should be able to sort what branch your family member is/was in, if he/she served in active combat, etc...

Dave Said:

Does anyone know of any grants or scholarships I can get, seeing as I am a military child?

We Answered:

I've been a college student for over 6 years (in law school now) and there are a few great ways to get aid.

One place that I got a lot of money from was Fastweb. The way it works is you create an account with their master scholarship search engine (its free). You input your background and personal info and it creates a customized scholarship profile for you - they do all the work for you in finding the scholarships that you qualify for. Then, they'll periodically notify you by email as new scholarships become available. Its a huge blessing, and I would recommend it.

Next, your school's financial aid office will usually have a database, binder, or other collection of materials of scholarships that are available. If you want to take advantage of this, simply go to the financial aid office and ask what is available. Then park your butt in a chair for a few hours and skim through and read the requirements and see what you would qualify for. It takes a little bit of time but if you win one its a HUGE bargain, especially if the scholarship is renewable from year to year.

Lastly, check your local library. The nice thing about looking here is that a lot of students are just plain lazy and don't want to go the library and do a little research. Meaning, the competition to win the scholarship is low. I got a $2,500 paid over 4 years by applying for a scholarship I found at my local library mostly because so few people applied.

Good luck!

Amanda Said:

Lester Said:

Are there any scholarships for military children with special needs (disabled) to attend private kindergarten?

We Answered:

No, there aren't any but you can apply for a scholarship through the school system.

EDIT: I had to look through my paperowrk to find the name of the scholarship we looked into. It's the McKay scholarship and it pays for any private school that will accept your child. We looked into this and checked out the schools here in Florida but decided to keep him in the public school system. He's in Kindergarten now and will have to repeat Kindergaten next year.
Your first stop should be the district school system. They can give you a list of all the programs, scholarships and requirements. Most of the programs require extensive testing to be eligible. You have to be able to prove that your child cannot be taught in a regular classroom setting.
