Scholarship Spotlight

Our mission is simple yet powerful – to provide deserving students with the financial assistance they need to pursue their dreams of higher education. We understand the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes, and we’re committed to ensuring the children of the fallen have the opportunity to thrive.

About our scholarship

This scholarship is meant to ease the financial burden of students as well as recognize the valor and dedication of those who’ve lost a parent in the line of duty. For any questions, feel free to contact us at scholarship@carrytheload.org.
