Our Mission
In recognition of the sacrifices of our nation's military, Orion Military Scholarship Fund is dedicated to promoting uninterrupted educational opportunities for eligible children of active component U.S. military families, by providing a combination of merit scholarships and school financial aid funding to select boarding-based schools across the United States.
What we do
By bringing together Orion's three constituencies -- Deserving U.S. Military Students, Select U.S. Schools, and Visionary Supporters -- we serve three important purposes:
To facilitate quality, uninterrupted educational opportunities for deserving U.S. military families;
To enrich private school communities with talented students from diverse military backgrounds;
To fulfill our supporters' desire to honor military families who lead lives of service.
1) DESERVING MILITARY STUDENTS
Facilitate uninterrupted, consistent, quality educational opportunities for deserving active component military families through Orion Military Scholarships in combination with Member School Financial Aid.
2) SELECT SCHOOLS
Provide a select group of subscribing Orion Member Schools with the opportunity to enrich their boarding communities with interesting and talented military students with diverse backgrounds and interesting life experiences.
3) VISIONARY SUPPORTERS
Fulfill our supporters' desire to honor U.S. active duty military families who lead lives of service and endure the educational challenges of mobile, unpredictable military lifestyles. Your donations help fund Orion Military Scholarships which provide talented military children with educational opportunities.
