ThanksUSA provides scholarships of $3,000 for spouses and college-aged children of service members and Veterans.
Types of Scholarships Awarded
  1. Scholarships awarded to dependent children are for first-time undergraduate study at an accredited 2-year or 4-year college, university, or accredited vocational technical or trade school program. Dependent child scholarships are NOT for non-degree licensure/certificate programs or graduate study.
  2. Scholarships awarded to spouses may be used for a first-time undergraduate study at an accredited 2-year or 4-year college, university, or accredited vocational technical or trade school program. Spouses may also use the award for non-degree professional licensing or certification program regardless of whether an undergraduate degree has already been completed (ex: teaching credentials, nursing/medical field license, ongoing real estate classes to keep licensure up to date). Graduate study is ineligible for scholarship award.

​Both dependent children and spouses who have completed a vocational program or associate's degree may use the award for study toward a first-time bachelor's degree. Master's programs or graduate-level study are not eligible.
