Grant Programs
Academic and Professional Grant
With a focus on helping military families remain flexible and adaptable in the face of ever-changing education and career demands, the FHCSF had recently created the Academic and Professional Grant. This grant program provides smaller awards to military spouses and young adults to help defray or cover the cost of licensure exams, certification courses, tests, and continuing education events.
