Now in its second year, the Tillman Military Scholars program supports educational opportunities for active and veteran service members and their families by covering direct study-related expenses such as tuition, fees, books, room and board, and other needs, such as child care.

In 2009, the Pat Tillman Foundation awarded $642,000 to 52 Tillman Military Scholars to men and women at 21 universities in 16 states for the 2009/2010 academic year.  With these scholarships, the foundation ensures these leaders have every opportunity to pursue broader educational goals.

The 2010/2011 application is due by 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 30, 2010 and can be accessed at http://pattillman.checkboxonline.com/tillmanmilitaryscholars.aspx
