College Scholarships Available for Children of
Military Heroes:
Deadline Extended
Freedom Alliance Provides Tuition Assistance to
Dependents
of Troops Killed or Permanently Disabled in the
Line of Duty
Dulles,
Virginia
– The Freedom Alliance Scholarship
Fund honors the bravery and dedication of
Americans in our armed forces who have
sacrificed life or limb in the defense of our
country by providing college scholarships to
their children. Freedom Alliance is now
accepting applications for the 2007-2008
academic year.
“We can never
fully give back to our brave service members
what they have sacrificed for us and the cause
of freedom," said Freedom Alliance President Tom
Kilgannon, "but what we can do is show our
appreciation by helping their children pay for
college.”
The
application deadline for the 2007-2008 academic
year has
been extended to August 10, 2007.
Freedom Alliance is accepting applications from
dependent children of U.S. military personnel
who have been killed or permanently disabled
(100% VA rating) in the line of duty during the
War on Terror (Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines,
etc.) and other theatres of operation. Students
must be enrolled or accepted at an accredited
college, university or vocational school.
Over the years,
the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund has
provided hundreds of college scholarships to
students whose parents have been killed or
permanently disabled in such conflicts as the
Persian Gulf War, the liberation of Grenada, and
the 1983 terrorist attack on the Marine Corps
barracks in Beirut. More recently, Freedom
Alliance provided scholarship assistance to the
dependent children of military personnel who
were killed in the October 2000 terrorist attack
on the USS
Cole and in the September 11
terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Since its
inception, Freedom Alliance has provided more
than $1,000,000 in college scholarships to the
sons and daughters of American heroes.
Radio
and television personality Sean Hannity will
host five “Hannity Freedom Concerts” in five
cities this summer to benefit the Freedom
Alliance Scholarship Fund. The Freedom Concerts
will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on July 10; San
Diego, California on July 26; Cincinnati, Ohio
on August 9; Dallas, Texas on August 14, and Six
