DECA, the Fisher House Foundation and our industry sponsors believe strongly in the future of our military dependents. In Europe, more than 390 applications were received from 10 countries. Every commissary that collected applications from students had at least one scholarship winner. The Defense Commissary Agency and Fisher House Foundation started the program last fall at more than 280 commissaries. Manufacturers and organizations that supply products to the commissaries donated the money for the scholarships.
Military families can stay there while family members are being treated.
DECA officials said winners should receive their scholarship checks by mid-summer.
