Military spouse scholarship opportunity Published April 30, 2009 By Senior Airman Marleah Miller 11th Wing Public Affairs BOLLING AFB, D.C. -- The University of Maryland University College will award 50 $5,000 scholarships to military spouses. Husbands and wives of active duty, reservists, Guard and retirees are eligible for these scholarships. Recently, UMUC received a $6 million anonymous donation.

Recipients are able to use these scholarships over the next three semesters (Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010). Funds can only be used for tuition and tech fees. There also will be an instant scholarship day on Bolling Air Force Base May 5 and on Andrews AFB May 8, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. where a select few scholarships will be awarded to spouses present.
