Orion Military Scholarship Fund recognizes the tremendous sacrifices made by our nation's military personnel. Our mission is clear: to champion uninterrupted educational opportunities for eligible children of active-duty U.S. military families. We achieve this by offering a unique blend of merit scholarships and financial aid to selected boarding-based schools nationwide.
Key Highlights
Stability through Boarding | Boarding schools provide a stable and enriching high school experience for our students, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.
Application Period | The application window opens on September 1st and remains open until December 1st each year, giving eligible 8th and 9th graders of active-duty service members the opportunity to apply.
Growing Network | Currently, we partner with twelve exceptional boarding schools (listed on our website). We're also open to the possibility of adding new partner schools to expand our reach.
