Coast Guard Foundation Dependent Children of Officers Scholarship

Scholarship for Children of Coast Guard Officers and Retired Officers

Support for education is a cornerstone of our commitment to the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard and their families. If you are the child of an active duty or retired Coast Guard officer you are eligible to apply. For the current scholarship cycle, successful applicants can expect an award of $2,500.

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 sky-rocketed, 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 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.

The scholarship is open to all children of Coast Guard Officers, enlisted members, active duty - reserve and retired.

The Coast Guard Foundation Admiral Robert E. Kramek Scholarship was established to honor the service of the 20th Commandant of the United States Coast Guard. Admiral Kramek led a storied career of service which began in 1961 when he graduated with honors from the coast Guard Academy.
