A Message from our President and CEO

At the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, the health, safety and welfare of our students, investors, and staff are our first and foremost concerns. Like you, we are monitoring the situation and following the guidance of our Nation’s health experts and appropriate authorities. Our staff members are working remotely and several of our upcoming events have been postponed. You can click here for the most recent schedule updates.

I would like to personally thank the many investors who have reached out to us and are maintaining their support during this turbulent time. You are truly helping us to “honor Marines by educating their children”.   We received nearly 4,000 scholarship applications just a few weeks ago and will maintain our promise to award a scholarship to every eligible applicant.

To our students and Marine parents, we remain a dependable resource for you and look forward to announcing our 2020-21 class of scholarship recipients in late May.

Semper Fidelis,

Lieutenant General Robert R. Ruark USMC (Ret.)
President and CEO

If You Can, You Must Scholarship Initiative

More than 14 years ago, Dakota Meyer, a U.S. Marine serving in the War in Afghanistan, risked his life to bravely save the lives of U.S. and Afghan forces in the Battle of Ganjgal. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the first living Marine in more than forty years to receive the award. Since leaving active duty, Dakota has embraced opportunities for continued service. Through his partnership with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, the “If You Can, You Must” Scholarship will provide educational scholarships to the children of Marines and inspire the future leaders of America.
