 A Million Dollar Moment for Military Families

Since 1989, the Lewis-McChord Family Scholarship Fund has been dedicated to helping military spouses and children achieve their educational dreams. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, 2025 marks a historic milestone: over $1 million awarded in scholarships to more than 400 military family members from the Joint Base Lewis-McChord community.

Our Impact Includes:

  • Scholarships awarded to spouses and children of all branches of the U.S. military.

  • Over 400 military families supported since inception.

  • Entirely donor-funded, powered by individuals and organizations committed to military family education.

We are proud to celebrate this Million Dollar Moment, but the work doesn’t stop here. With your support, we can continue providing scholarships that change lives and strengthen our military community. Support Military Families Today.
