There are two categories of USMCCCA scholarship grants available:

 Applicants for both scholarships must meet the requirements below:

Eligibility:

In the case of an active duty Marine applicant he or she must agree to become a member of the USMCCCA upon selection and remain a member throughout the lifetime of the approved scholarship.

2. Past recipients of Foundation grants who have not received a maximum of four annual grants, if they still meet requirements.

3. All applicants must show evidence of having been ACCEPTED by an accredited institution of
higher learning for enrollment in courses leading to undergraduate degrees from that institution.

Grant Amounts: The amount and number of grants awarded each year will be determined by the Foundation Board of Directors. Initially, $3,000 has been allocated to each of the awards listed above. No individual grant will be less than $500. The grants will be made to the chosen institute of higher learning for use exclusively by the finalist chosen and are to be used exclusively for educational support: tuition, books, and/or fees at the chosen institute.
