Military spouses now have a larger scholarship pool to
draw from thanks to a new partnership between the National Military Family Association (NMFA) and Fisher House
Foundation. Military spouses have helped NMFA demonstrate the need for additional resources for spouse education
and this collaboration will enable the Association to expand the NMFA Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse
Scholarship Program, to many more deserving spouses. These scholarships are awarded to military spouses to obtain
professional certification or to attend post secondary or graduate school. Scholarships normally range from $500 to
$1,000 and may be used for tuition, fees, and school room and board. Spouses of uniformed service members (active
duty, National Guard and Reserve, retirees, and survivors) of any branch or rank are eligible to apply. Applications are
accepted online January 1 through February 29, 2008. For more information about the NMFA Joanne Holbrook Patton
Military Spouse Scholarship Program or to sign-up to receive education updates, visit www.nmfa.org/scholarship, or
contact the Base Education Offices.
