04/07/2009 - McKendree Is Accepting Applications for Military Spouse Scholarships
McKendree University announces a new partnership with the Armed Services Mutual Benefit Association STAR Foundation to provide a four-year, full-tuition scholarship for two military spouses. Spouses of uniformed services members, including active duty, National Guard, reservists, retirees and survivors, are urged to apply now for the new scholarship that will enable them to attain a bachelor’s degree at no cost.
To obtain an application, contact the McKendree University Admission Office at 618-537-6831 or go online to www.mckendree.edu/veterans. Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on June 15. One scholarship recipient will be selected from McKendree’s Lebanon campus or Scott Air Force Base Center, and one from its Radcliff campus near Fort Knox, Ky.
McKendree is the first college selected for this pilot program. The foundation recently awarded a $64,340 grant – $16,085 annually for four years – to establish the “ASMBA STAR Foundation and McKendree University Military Spouse Scholarship.” McKendree will match the foundation’s contribution by 100 percent. The scholarship will fund tuition, fees and books for the two undergraduate students selected.
Based in Nashville, Tenn., ASMBA is a 501(c3) organization created in 2008, which provides comprehensive insurance coverage to military personnel and their families.
The ASMBA STAR Foundation is a not-for-profit voluntary association that provides programs, benefits and services to improve the quality of life for members of the armed forces, veterans and their families. STAR is an acronym for “Support, Teach, Assist, Recognize.”
“McKendree has maintained a close relationship with Scott Air Force Base and Fort Knox for many years. This scholarship opportunity is a mutually beneficial partnership that will have a significant impact on the lives of military families,” said Dr. James Dennis, university president. “We are pleased and proud to be selected by the ASMBA STAR Foundation as the pilot institution for this new scholarship.”
McKendree’s Center at Scott Air Force Base has offered courses to members of the military and civilians since 1971. All university functions are available on base, including registration, advisement, financial aid, textbooks and veteran services. Current enrollment is 376 students. A convenient one-month class format meets the unique needs of working adults.
Over 200 students are enrolled at the Radcliff campus, which has operated since 1973 near Fort Knox, home of the Army Armor Center and U.S. Army Recruiting Command.
McKendree University is ranked among the top 10 percent of "Best Baccalaureate Colleges” in the nation and in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category by U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges 2009."
