Open application period: August 15-December 1, 2022

The Coast Guard Foundation is offering a round of grants for Coast Guard spouses to assist with their education, professional training, and certification efforts.

Eligible Coast Guard spouses may apply for a grant to support their college and professional training goals during the 2022 fall application period. Our program awards $500 grants to cover tuition, fees, supplies, and related education expenses incurred during the 2022 calendar year.

What to know when applying:

• Grants benefit non-military spouses of enlisted Coast Guard members in paygrades E3-E6.
• Education and training programs must be at a regionally or nationally accredited institution.
• Priority will be given to spouses pursuing first degrees: associates, bachelors, licenses, and certifications.
• Coast Guard spouses who already received a spring 2022 grant are not eligible to apply this round.
• Grants are awarded in the order they are received, provided all eligibility requirements have been met.
• If you have any questions about the Coast Guard Foundation’s spouse grant program, please call 860-535-0786. Our program manager, Sage Williams, is available by phone or email to assist you.
