250 Years of Honor, Courage and Commitment

This year, our Corps celebrates 250 years of being the “first to fight.”   Since the birth of our nation, Marines have fought in every clime and place to enable our fellow citizens to pursue the American dream in peace.   As we look ahead to the next 250 years, I know today’s Marines remain a certain force for an increasingly uncertain world.

At the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, we honor the storied legacy of generations of Marines by investing in the children of Marines —young men and women raised with the values of honor, courage, and commitment.  Our investment in them is an investment in America’s future.

In celebration of this historic anniversary, I invite you to join the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation in our goal to secure 250 new investors.  Your investment in educating the children of Marines will help ensure that the legacy of the Marine Corps endures for generations to come.

Thank you and Happy 250th Birthday!

Semper Fidelis,

Lieutenant General George W. Smith Jr., USMC (Ret.)
Chairman
Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation
