A legacy of service – a commitment to the future

In 2025, the Marine Corps will celebrate its 250th Birthday, offering a unique opportunity for Marines, their families, and supporters to honor the legacy of service and sacrifice. The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation plays a critical role in securing the future of Marine families by ensuring their children have access to quality higher education.

Why This Matters

  • Financial Stress is Real – Many families face significant financial barriers to higher education.
  • First-Generation College Students – For many Marine children, a scholarship from MCSF is the key to achieving a dream that would otherwise be out of reach.
  • Strengthening America – Investing in Marine families directly impacts retention, recruitment, and the long-term success of those who serve.

How You Can Help

  • Become a Founding Member – Take a leadership role and join as one of the 250 Parents of Marines who give back.
  • Be an Ambassador – Encourage fellow Marine families to support the cause.
  • Secure the Future – Help expand MCSF’s reach so that every Marine child has the opportunity to pursue higher education.
