MCSF named 2022 Scholarship Provider of the Year

I am honored to announce that the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation was named the 2022 Scholarship Provider of the Year by the National Scholarship Providers Association (NSPA)! This competitive award is given to “providers that leverage their unique resources to strengthen college access and success, advance industry or professional performance, kick-start innovation, and improve conditions in their community and beyond.”

I am pleased to share this special moment of recognition with you. It is a wonderful tribute to this community and to your commitment to Marine families. Thank you.

Our commitment to honoring Marines has produced a unique-to-the-industry scholarship program that has provided need-based scholarships to the children of Marines for more than 60 years, awarding more than 50,000 scholarships valued at $185 million.

This year, with your help, we provided scholarships to more than 2,600 children of Marines, awarding a record-breaking $10 million for the first time in our history. We continue to stay true to our mission to leave no family in-need behind by awarding 100% of eligible applicants with an award.

But we couldn’t have gotten here alone. I would like to thank the National Scholarship Providers Association for this meaningful recognition. Most importantly, thank you for your support and care for Marine families — we simply couldn’t do this work without you.

Semper Fidelis,



Ted Probert
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.
