    About this scholarship

    The Minuteman Scholarship Program, provided by the U.S. Army, is designed for individuals interested in joining the military while pursuing their college education. To qualify for this program, applicants must secure a nomination from specific military or civilian leaders, which include a State Adjutant General, a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, a Mission Support Command, or an Army Reserve Ambassador. This nomination must be submitted in the form of a signed memorandum from the nominating official.

    The scholarship covers college expenses for durations ranging from two to four years. While this program is funded through federal military channels, students seeking comprehensive financial aid are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to coordinate their military benefits with other state and federal assistance. For the most up-to-date information regarding application timelines and deadlines, candidates should consult the official program page.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
