What is the American Patriots Fund and how does it differ from the other scholarships?
There is no difference in terms of your scholarship donations. Rather, the American Patriots Campaign is a five year $50 million capital campaign (2006-2010) whose goals include: doubling the average annual four year scholarship award to at least $3,000 from $1,500; funding the Heroes Tribute Scholarship Award of up to $30,000 for every child of a Marines and every child of a Navy Corpsman serving with Marines whose parent is killed in combat in the Global War on Terror; and to build the Foundation's capacity to sustain the growth and breadth of revenues to meet the future educational needs of the Marine Corps family.
Show your American patriotism and help support our Marines and Navy Corpsmen who are fighting in the War on Terror and protecting our freedoms and country from harm by clicking on the "Donate Now" button below.
