American Brother Foundation Scholarship Program

The American Brother Foundation Scholarship Program, given in honor of USMC Sgt. Mecot Camara, aims to offer support to those who have given so much for the country by providing financial assistance to dependents of military service members. In 2025, the foundation is awarding six scholarships of $1,000 each to graduating high school seniors who are children or grandchildren of current or past members of the US military. The scholarship is available to students who have been accepted to attend a four-year accredited college or technical institution for the upcoming semester and have a family member who has served or is currently serving in the military. Applicants must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA and submit a 500 to 650-word essay addressing what patriotism means to them and how their family member's service to the United States shaped their views. Applications must be submitted between December 28, 2024 and March 25, 2025, and must include verifiable military connection documentation such as a DD214 or current paystub. Each application is reviewed by the Board of Directors of the American Brother Foundation, and all applicants will be notified of the decision by email or regular mail. Thanks to the support of donors, the foundation is able to give back to families that have sacrificed for the nation.
