Operation Homefront is proud to announce Operation Homefront�s Military Spouse Scholarship Program.
The scholarships will be awarded to recipients on August 15, 2009. Selection for the scholarship will be
made by a panel of judges and the award will be scored in three areas: the applicant�s response to the
essay question, his or her commitment to volunteerism and grade point average. Applicants must follow
instructions carefully and complete the application in its entirety in order to be considered.
The scholarship award is offered to spouses of uniformed service members to attend a four-year college
or university, graduate school, accredited trade school, certificate program, vocational school or
community college. Thirty seven scholarships are currently being offered, totaling $100,000. The winner
of the grand prize scholarship will receive $10,000; two first-place award winners will receive $7,500; four
second-place award winners will receive $5,000; 10 third-place award winners will receive $2,500; and
20 runners up will each receive $1,500. The scholarship funds may be used to assist with tuition, fees
and books and will be paid directly to the educational institution. Applicants must resubmit an application
each year they would like to be considered.
