The Office of Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (URAF) works with the Military and Veteran Success Center to share, promote, and advise on scholarships and fellowships specifically for active duty service members, veterans, and military dependents.
Scholarships
These scholarship programs aim to honor and support U.S. service members and their families through financial support, development opportunities, and lifelong community.
Leadership
A competitive candidate demonstrates a commitment to leadership.
Service at Home and Abroad
These scholarships emphasize the measurable positive impact of the scholars's work on their community.
Additional Benefits
Scholarships not only provide financial assistance, by way of educational funding, but they also often include community building, career assistance, leadership opportunities, and support beyond your degree program.
Eligibility Notes
The scholarships shown in this section are primarily only open to those who have served, or are currently serving, in the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families. Additional scholarships shared on this page are open to more applicants, but still may be of interest to service-minded individuals.

- A graduating senior will receive a bachelor’s B.A. or B.A. degree between December and August in the current/upcoming academic year, and/or will proceed to master’s coursework if participating in a 4+1 degree plan.
