Military spouses with an eye on professional certification or a post-secondary education may not have to foot the entire bill, thanks to a National Military Family Association scholarship program.
The group is accepting applications for its annual Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to spouses or surviving spouses of servicemembers on active duty or in the National Guard or reserves and of military retirees.
The scholarships, ranging from $500 to $1,000, can be used for tuition, fees, and school room and board while the spouse obtains professional certification or attends post-secondary or graduate school.
The number of scholarships awarded each year varies, depending on funding.
Applications are accepted online only, through the National Military Family Association Web site, www.nmfa.org, and must be submitted by Feb. 1.
The association also has created a Web portal at www.nmfa.org/SpouseEd that's stocked with military spouse education resources and information to help spouses
reach their career and educational goals.
