NCFRW Caring for America Scholarship

The North Carolina Federation of Republican Women's Caring for America Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship program designed to assist eligible children of North Carolina service members who were wounded or killed while serving from September 11, 2001, to the present. This scholarship supports students pursuing a degree or vocational certification from an accredited North Carolina college, vocational, or technical institution. The program recognizes the sacrifices made by military families and provides financial assistance to help dependents of service members achieve their educational and career goals. Up to two scholarships of $1,000 each are awarded annually to entering first-year students. Applicants must demonstrate academic merit through standardized test scores, transcripts, and a personal essay describing their academic plans, career goals, and how having a parent in the military has impacted these goals.
