"We provide quality education that leads to successful careers, and this scholarship demonstrates our dedication to supporting students' success as they seek to elevate their opportunities and find careers suited to their specific needs."

Career Step has teamed up with the National Military Family Association to award a full-tuition scholarship each quarter in 2016 to the spouse of an active duty service member or veteran of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard or National Guard.
