Hope For The Warriors Restoring Family Scholarship

About this scholarship

The Hope For The Warriors Restoring Family Scholarship is reserved for spouses of fallen post-9/11 service members. It belongs to the organization’s five-track Military Spouse & Caregiver Scholarship Program, which has distributed more than $640,000 in education funding since 2006. Eligible study takes place through accredited U.S. colleges, universities, or trade schools. Awards are sent directly to the institution and may pay tuition, books, and required supplies; the sponsor does not list a fixed current dollar amount, award count, or degree-level restriction for this particular track. Applicants do not begin with a stand-alone public scholarship form. They first complete Hope For The Warriors’ secure Connect to Services intake, then work with the intake team to confirm eligibility and request an invitation to the Restoring Family application. This routing step is important because it connects the applicant with the correct scholarship category and other relevant services. The official scholarship page identifies the current Spring cycle as August 1 through September 30, 2026. It also warns that referrals into the scholarship program close three business days before the final application deadline. A prospective applicant should therefore submit the intake before the final week rather than treating September 30 as the day to start. The amount ultimately available depends on the selection cycle and the recipient’s approved educational costs.
