Great Scholarship Opportunity for Military Spouses
Operation Homefront and the Saban Family Foundation have begun accepting
applications for the 2011 Saban Military Wife Educational Scholarship.
The scholarship award is offered to wives of uniformed service members
to attend vocational training programs in the medical field. Fifteen
$8,500 scholarships and five $10,000 scholarships will be awarded for
tuition for vocational training in one of the following fields: dental
assistant, medical assistant, medical billing and coding specialist,
medical insurance technician, patient care assistant/ technician, nurse
assistant training program, or medical transcription. Two $30,000
scholarships will be awarded for tuition for vocational nursing
programs.
Applications will be accepted from now until May 1, 2011. The
scholarships will be awarded to recipients in July 2011. Selection for
the scholarships will be made by a panel of judges, and the award will
be scored in two areas: the applicant's response to the essay question
and her commitment to volunteerism.
"Operation Homefront is committed to providing assistance to the
families of military service members, and our partnership with the
Women's Self Worth Foundation gives us another opportunity to help
military wives reach for their dreams to improve themselves and provide
a better life for their families," said Jim Knotts, President &
CEO of Operation Homefront.
"Military wives face challenging circumstances - many are forced to
relocate frequently and raise children with little support while their
spouses are deployed," said Cheryl Saban "these scholarships will
provide women with the opportunity to develop careers in a highly in
demand field and in doing so, will make a major impact on their lives
and the lives of their families and communities."
