Coast Guard Reserve Families

Annually, our USAA Reserve Scholarship provides support to both Reservists and their family members who pursue higher education opportunities.

The Coast Guard Foundation's United Services Automobile Association (USAA) Reserve Scholarship provides education support to both Reservists and their family members who are pursuing higher education opportunities.

Our assistance helps to make up the difference to pay for things like books, lab fees, and technical equipment opening the doors of opportunity to so many Coast Guard families. Expensive textbooks and other out-of-pocket fees can put a college degree out of reach for many Coast Guard families, especially those who are supporting children.

We award scholarships based not only on an applicant’s financial need but also on a scholastic promise, motivation, moral character, good citizenship, and leadership qualities.

It means a lot to get this scholarship. It, again, shows me and reminds me of my relationship with the Coast Guard, and my appreciation for the service from a personal and a professional level.
