Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund

The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund honors the bravery and dedication exhibited by Americans in our Armed Forces who have sacrificed life or limb defending our country by providing educational scholarships to their children. Thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Guardsmen have been killed in the War on Terror.

Thousands more members of our Armed Forces have been permanently disabled, leaving their families in difficult financial situations. Their children – the sons and daughters of America’s military heroes – (many of whom are now young) will be eligible for a Freedom Alliance Scholarship in the years to come.

Freedom Alliance has established a permanent Scholarship Trust Fund to aid the children of these brave Americans so that for many years to come, we will be able to help the children of American heroes when it is their turn to attend college.

Through the generosity of so many patriotic Americans, the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships for thousands of young Americans, reminding them that their parents’ sacrifice will never be forgotten by a grateful nation. The Fund has awarded over $1.7 million in scholarships to the sons and daughters of American heroes.

A Special Message from Freedom Alliance
Founder and Honorary Chairman
LtCol Oliver North, USMC (Ret.)

During my many visits to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the world, I’ve had the privilege of spending time with our young Americans who proudly serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. I admire and respect them more than words can convey. I’ve seen them make that final sacrifice for our country. It’s never easy. What makes it more difficult is to know that this American’s dying prayer is for a loved one back home.

Their last appeal is to us – their fellow countrymen – to care for the families they’ve left behind. The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund ensures that the prayers of our fallen heroes will never be forgotten.

With your help, Freedom Alliance will not only help their children attain their dream of a college education, but we’ll remind them that the parents they lost were heroes – not because of the way they died, but because of the way they lived.

Scholarship Recipients' Parents Thank Freedom Alliance

“Both my daughters, Randi and Shari, were each awarded a Freedom Alliance Scholarship. From all of us, I would like to thank you for the great gift. Both girls are superior students and extremely goal-oriented. We understand that it is because of the sacrifices my husband, their father, LTC Jeffrey Rifkin, made for the Armed Forces of the USA that they were entitled to apply. My husband would be so proud of them as we always were of him.”
