Any active duty military or wounded warrior may apply.

Scholarships are awarded based on need and available funding.

Need is determined by two primary factors:
1. Circumstances including but not necessarily limited to displacement, trauma, and negative educational conditions.
2. Financial capacity of the family.

1. The applicant will be contacted for a preliminary application review and needs assessment to gain basic understanding of the educational challenges, goals and possibilities, and the financial capacity of the family.

2. The assessed application will be processed by the Mayor’s Military Kids scholarship reviewing committee.

3. The applicant will be contacted and informed of the decision of the committee or to answer further questions the committee may have.

4. If application is approved for funding, work begins with applicant to enroll the student in a pre-qualified school, online program or homeschool program based on the educational need and school/program’s eligibility to receive scholarship funds.

Applicants will receive an immediate electronic acknowledgement of the application submission. Following that, the applicant can expect to be contacted within 30 days for a preliminary application review and assessment (See #1 under FAQ “What is the process once an application for scholarship is submitted”). The actual time for final approval will vary depending on the case, the volume of applications being processed and available funding.

Money is not awarded directly to families. Once a student is approved for a scholarship and agreement is established on the educational provider for the child, funding is disbursed directly to the provider.

NOTE: Exception may be made in cases where homeschooling is the best option for the child and the parent is determined to be the primary provider. In such cases, agreed upon curriculum materials will be purchased by MMK. Any compensation for teaching will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Once the educational provider is determined and an applicant has been accepted for enrollment, Mayor’s Military Kids communicates with the provider and arranges for disbursement of funds.
