Then you're in the right place. Here you can learn about the the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship Fry Scholarship, a scholarship for children and dependents of Veterans.
My husband died on a combat mission a few years ago, does this qualify me for the scholarship?
Yes, you may qualify for this benefit. We can find out if you're eligible for education benefits through this scholarship, if you want.
That'd be great. You see, I lost my husband twelve years ago. Which scholarship can I get? The fry scholarship, right?
Yes, you may qualify for both the Fry Scholarship and the Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance DEA program. But you can use only one program at a time.
Does this mean you cap combined benefits at some point?
Correct. We cap combined benefits at 81 months of full-time training.
Good to know. So, do I qualify for the Fry scholarship then?
You may be able to get benefits under the Fry Scholarship if you re the child or surviving spouse of an active-duty service member who died in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001.
Are you the spouse of a service member?
Yes, I'm the wife of a veteran who passed away.
Did you remarry?
No, I would never marry another man. My husband was the love of my life.
I'm receiving dependency, can I receive it along with the Fry scholarship?
