Deadline

2027-2028 cycle opens October 15, 2026; closing date not yet posted.

How to apply

Online application with official transcript, FAFSA Student Aid Report, SAT/ACT scores, proof of military service and relationship, a recommendation letter and a brief biography.

What you'll need

• A separate scholarship application
• Recommendations
• Required financial-aid forms (check the program's rules)

Who can apply

General applicant pool: seniors entering accredited higher education next fall, with dependent/direct-descendant ties including child, stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild or great-grandchild to Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or U.S.-flag Merchant Marine service; Sea Cadet applicants must themselves be cadets. Specific named award summaries often limit to child/grandchild, and Alaska serves dependent children/spouses with qualifying Alaska-resident personnel. Specific programs set major or heritage preferences.

Good to know

Only scholarships listed in the current availability section are offered this cycle; the much longer summary includes other awards that are not listed as available. October 15, 2026 is the confirmed 2027-28 opening. The linked eligibility survey is still labeled 2026-27; exact future closing date and continuing-award conditions are unconfirmed. Required FAFSA reporting is still called SAR by the page; test scores are expressly required.
