Educating the Children of Military Heroes

Freedom Alliance has awarded tens of millions of dollars in college scholarships to the sons and daughters of America’s military heroes.

These Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardsmen sacrificed life or limb defending our country. We care for their families by helping their children achieve the dream of a college education.

Our scholarship not only provides much needed financial assistance, but each scholarship is a reminder to that student that their parent’s sacrifice will never be forgotten by a grateful nation. There are an estimated 7,000 children of service members who lost their lives in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Your gift ensures that the sacrifice of America’s military heroes will never be forgotten.

Make a gift to help us make educational dreams come true for the children of military heroes. Tens of thousands more children of wounded personnel will also qualify for a Freedom Alliance scholarship.

Freedom Alliance Scholarship has dramatically impacted my life by helping shape my future and giving me the tools I needed to help me finish school. My entire life, I wanted to make my dad proud and take advantage of the opportunities he has given me through his sacrifice. Freedom Alliance has continuously proven to me that they care about the well-being of the children of fallen heroes and allow us to carry on our loved one’s legacy without worrying about financial burdens.

Student Outreach

Freedom Alliance scholars inspire with their desire to honor the sacrifices of their parents, and our Student Outreach Project impacts them above and beyond the financial assistance of their scholarship.

Many of them struggle with feelings of isolation or loneliness because they don’t typically have friends who’ve lost a parent or had a parent severely disabled in combat. It is a unique situation and so we create for them communities of peer support through Scholars Retreats, Student Ambassadors, published essays, media appearances, events, and personal outreach.

We show them that they are valued and loved. Students receive birthday cards and care packages during their exams, we provide many with letters of recommendation for graduate school, employment, or other special programs.

Our ambassadors travel the country to share their personal stories and explain how their families were impacted by the war. Several of our students have earned the prestigious Gold Star Family Fellowship, which allows them to work with Members of Congress. The Freedom Alliance scholarship offers tremendous financial assistance for college, but it is often just the first step of a wonderful and lasting friendship with a hero’s family.
