SCHOLARSHIPS
Welcome to the 2024-2025 MSACP Scholarship Application Process!
In 2024, the MSACP awarded $48,000 in scholarships to military-connected children and spouses pursuing postsecondary education!
This year there is only one (1) essay for applicants to write. Scores will be based on the responses received on both the application and the essay. Essays will be graded on: proper formatting, organization, execution, and content of response. Applications and Essays must be submitted by 11:59 pm on the date to be announced, to be considered for a scholarship this year.
Please Note: If you are a High Schooler or Spouse applying for a Vocational/Trade/Junior College please fill out that application, NOT the High School or Spouse Application and Essay.
