I am not sure if I am eligible for any military grants or scholorships, and I don’t even know who to ask. I am attending Northwestern college, I currently have a 4.0 GPA. My father was retired Navy, although he also served in the Army, Marines and Coast Guard. He never used any of his GI Bill money, he passed away when I was 11, and I’m 36 now. He did two tours in Vietnam. I just don’t want to miss an opportunity for scholorship or grant money, and if someone knows more about this, or to point me in some sort of direction that would be great.
There are some good answers and some not so good answers. Thanks to the ones who responded intelligently. As for lilllbit, no you do not deserve a free ride for your grandpa being in WWII, and your ignorant response makes me not want to ask a question, I can’t believe you are a top contributor, why don’t you see how many websites are out there for military scholoraships and grants, there are thousands, I just didn’t know where to begin. When you do a little research and educate yourself, then get back to me, otherwise I don’t have the time of day for responses like yours, If I have a chance in this economy to save a couple of thousand dollars from a 40,000 dollar bill, then I am going to use my noggin and find it.
Thank you to who had suggested academic scholarships, I am going to pursue that also, I’m also pursing minority scholarships, for every minority that I am. I am just trying to look at all avenue’s to save myself some money.
