Since 2004, NMFA has cheered on military spouses by awarding scholarships to help pay for everything from GED’s to PhD’s, professional licenses and certifications, including re-licensure, business and entrepreneurial expenses, supervised clinical hours, continuing education courses, and more.
When you receive an NMFA’s Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarship, you’ll get more than just money. Our team wants to support you as you achieve your dreams. You’ll join an exclusive group of spouse recipients, have access to private Facebook groups to network, and be part of a special community who you can count on throughout your career.
Degree, Career + Business Partnership Offers
Many schools and institutions want to support military spouses on their career and education journeys.
Thousands of spouses apply for NMFA’s Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarships each year, but because of the large demand, only 10% will receive funding.
