The Freedom Alliance Scholarship fund is for the children of military personnel who have been killed or have been deemed 100 percent totally and permanently disabled from a combat mission or training accident. Applicants must be the dependent son or daughter of a U.S. Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardsman, or Marine who has been killed in action; or has become 100 percent totally and permanently disabled as a direct result of a combat mission, with priority given to those who have a single combat-related disability rated at 70 percent or more. This does not apply to Servicemembers who are Silver Star or Purple Heart medal recipients, as they only need a combined 100 percent total and permanent disability rating. The qualifying parent must have received an Honorable discharge. The parent may also have suffered a major limb amputation due to enemy action; been classified as a Prisoner of War (POW) or as Missing in Action (MIA); been awarded the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Air Force Cross, or the Coast Guard Cross; and/or been involved in a training accident that resulted in the death of the Servicemember or caused an immediate inability to continue serving Students must be currently in the spring semester of their senior year of high school, a high school graduate, or currently enrolled as an undergraduate, vocational, or trade school student (having previously graduated high school). Freedom Alliance scholarships are only for use towards undergraduate, trade, or vocational programs. The scholarship award is only applicable to a first degree program. New applicants who have previously graduated from an undergraduate program and received a degree are not eligible for the scholarship award.
