Troy University announced today a new tuition scholarship that will benefit military veterans and their immediate family members.

Through the TROY Partnership Program, the University will offer a 10 percent tuition scholarship and waiver of application fees for all veterans and their families to include spouse and dependents in appreciation for their service to the country.

“At Troy University, we know that freedom isn’t free,” said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. “Serving the men and women of the U.S. military is a part of our mission at TROY, and we are pleased to demonstrate our appreciation for their service by offering this new scholarship and application fee waiver to veterans and their families.”

Scot Brumbeloe, Director of Military and Veterans Affairs, said the new scholarship will help military veterans and their families meet their educational goals.

“In addition to being a longstanding partner to those serving in our military, we are proud to now offer a tuition scholarship to all veterans and their families to show appreciation for their service to our great nation,” Brumbeloe said. “This scholarship and application fee waiver will assist in making TROY more accessible than ever and assist military veterans and their families in attaining their higher education goals.”

Eligibility for the scholarship will be verified by the applicants form DD214. The app fee waiver is available by using the promotional code TROY4VETS. For additional information about the scholarship, contact Brumbeloe at 334-670-3657 or by email at smbrumbeloe@troy.edu or visit troy.edu/military-veterans.

Troy University’s service to the military dates to the 1950s, and the University’s commitment to serving the men and women of the United States military has continued to grow through the years through efforts such as TROY for Troops centers, which seek to meet the unique needs of service men and women and their dependents, the Military and Family Scholarship and annual recognitions during Military Appreciation and Military Family Appreciation months. More than 27 percent of TROY’s total student population is affiliated with the military.

TROY is consistently recognized as a leading institution for members of the military and veterans by such publications as U.S. News and World Report, GI Jobs, Military Times Edge, Advanced Military Education.
