About this scholarship
University of Maryland Global Campus offers multiple scholarships—which include full tuition, fees, and course-required resources for each term during the academic year—for caregivers of recovering servicemembers and veterans through the Pillars of Strength Scholarship. This scholarship aims to honor the unparalleled selflessness and extraordinary commitment of these caregivers. To be considered for this scholarship program, you must be a spouse, parent, stepparent, sibling, stepsibling, fiancé, child, stepchild, or friend of a servicemember or veteran who became wounded, injured, or ill in the line-of-duty after September 11, 2001. Enrollment in the VA Caregiver Program or assignment as a DoD-designated non-medical attendant (NMA) is not required. UMGC will determine eligibility based on the documentation required for the proof of caregiver status to that veteran or servicemember
