If you are the child of an active duty, retired, or active reserve Coast Guard member you are eligible to apply. For this year's scholarship cycle, successful applicants can expect awards ranging between $2,500 to $5,000.
When we began the scholarship program in 1990, we focused on one goal — providing Coast Guard families the opportunity to send their children to college. Since that time, the cost of higher education has skyrocketed, making our original aspiration even more relevant for today’s Coast Guard families.
We're proud to report our scholarship program is impacting more families than at any time in our history. These scholars are among the best and brightest displaying not only outstanding academic achievement but also the characteristics befitting of the Coast Guard’s core values.
In honor of Head Start’s proven model of success, the National Head Start Alumni Scholarship is a non-renewable merit award to celebrate Head Start student achievement in high school and support students as they begin the next leg of their educational journey.
Scholarship winners will receive an award of $5,000 and a commemorative certificate. Funds must be applied to the documented cost of tuition or books at a two-year or four-year institution whose accreditation is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
The nominee must:
- Provide proof of enrollment in a Head Start or Early Head Start program as a child for one or more years.
- Provide a cover letter with key details about the nominee and the nominee's family and connection to Head Start as a child.
- Submit proof of the nominee’s status as a high school senior on target to graduate with at least a 2.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale or equivalent as indicated on school transcript.
- Provide three letters of recommendation (two from academic subject teachers who taught the nominee within the last two years and one from a civic/religious organization where the nominee is active).
- Provide proof of the nominee’s application to at least one two-year or four-year academic institution registered by the U.S. Department of Education (proof of enrollment will be required before distribution of funds).
- Comply with all NHSA general rules and regulations as listed on the Scholarships and Awards homepage.
Nominations are due by Monday, January 20, 2025.

2025 STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Jim’s Team 4 Diabetes Foundation offers College Scholarships for up to $500 for students with Type 1 Diabetes. To be eligible, the applicant must be a senior attending high school in the USA that will graduate in the year 2025.
As well, current undergraduate students from around the country that are enrolled at a four-year accredited college, university, technical, or trade school during the 2025 calendar year, are eligible to apply for a Scholarship award to help with expenses that can be applied towards their Diabetes equipment and supplies needed for school.
The physical and emotional trials of being a student with T1D are well documented. Managing such a chronic disease has inherent challenges, but having to prioritize that within the context of a college experience can be very difficult.
Our Foundation looks forward to recognizing students that are demonstrating the ability to not only successfully manage their personal diabetes care but are achieving great results with their school studies and activities in pursuit of their career dreams.
