FRA has scholarships available for those affiliated with the Navy, Marines or Coast Guard.
The Fleet Reserve Association (FRA) Education Foundation makes scholarship applications available through April 15 of each year. The foundation's board of directors encourages all eligible candidates to apply. Applicants are considered for all scholarships offered during that year, provided the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for the awards.
To be eligible for FRA Education Foundation awards:
- Applicants must be affiliated with the Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, either through their own service or that of a spouse, parent or grandparent.
- Foundation scholarships of up to $5,000 are funded through private donations, established trusts and corporate sponsorships, and recipients are selected based on financial need, academic standing, character and leadership qualities.
- Members of the FRA and their family members qualify for a broader range of scholarships, several of which are funded through member legacy donations.
Each scholarship candidate must be sponsored by a parent, grandparent or spouse who has an affiliation with the Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. To learn more about FRA and FRA Education Foundation scholarship opportunities, locally, contact Mary Rauch at 856-468-6569 or mmrauch@comcast.net.
