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
The Carry The Load scholarship was established in 2023 by our ambassador, Michael Flowers – a United States Marine Corps veteran who is deeply committed to both service and education. 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.
