Military Scholarships Deadline Update 2019
February 15, 2019 :: Admissionado Team
Education benefits are a key selling point for the U.S. military, but the money doesn’t stop at the GI Bill or ROTC.
Veterans and often their children are eligible for a number of private or nonprofit scholarships, many of which have deadlines in the next few months. These programs can be particularly beneficial to those who have already exhausted their government benefits (a category which, in our experience, includes many MBA/Masters applicants).
The rules for military scholarships can be fairly complex, so carefully investigate the links below if you are interested in any of these offerings.

As you can see, there’s a lot of money out there to be had! The Raytheon and Pat Tillman scholarships are particularly notable for the amount of money they pay out. Many applicants may also be able to get scholarships from local chapters of nationwide veterans’ associations, which are often less formal and available only to nearby veterans. Many of these scholarships may not even be advertised on the internet. A little real-world research can net you opportunities with higher acceptance rates, so reach out to local groups and vets in your network.
