Memorial Day Reflections

On Memorial Day, our Nation pauses to remember those who have served and made great sacrifices for all. We also remember their families and all Veterans who have served America. Because of their efforts we will do so freely, secure in the knowledge that our unique way of life is protected by those who are willing to give everything for the liberties and blessings of America.

It is also during such moments of reflection that we can pay a most lasting tribute to those who have given all.
The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation aims to perpetuate the legacy of our fallen Marines and Navy Corpsmen by educating their children and providing scholarships for them to attend college or technical school. Our Nation’s heroes gave their all to secure our future, and it is our honor to help their children build their own futures through higher education.

On behalf of the Scholarship Foundation, our board of directors, staff, and Marine families everywhere, I hope you and your family have a meaningful and safe Memorial Day.
Sincerely,

General Robert B. Neller USMC (Ret.)
Chairman
Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation

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.
