Scholarships for Military Children
Students across the country have returned to college after summer breaks. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve faced uncertain conditions as they entered or returned to colleges, either remotely or in-person. Fisher House Foundation’s scholarship program was there for them, regardless of the situation. Heroes’ Legacy Scholarships and Scholarships for Military Children have helped students meet their educational goals. One of those students was Morgan State University sophomore Dexter Carr, Jr. He received assistance from Fisher House Foundation that would give him an added sense of financial security in the days to come.

“This scholarship means a lot to me because it significantly helps me to further my education and my progress to becoming a physical therapist. When I become a physical therapist, I want to help people, especially people who have served in our armed forces.” Kaitlyn Marcatante is another recipient. She’s studying at the University of Texas at Austin. “I really just want to thank everyone there at Fisher House Foundation for really just believing in me and supporting me and investing in my future,” Kaitlyn said. “I really want to use this award to really pursue my career within nonprofit work and advocacy.”
