Provide scholarships to Coast Guard enlisted personnel and their dependents, support family oriented facilities and welfare and morale programs at bases throughout the Country.

Each year, the Coast Guard Foundation provides more than $340,000 in Educational Grants to help enlisted men and women complete their college education. This program is funded in part by CFC donors. Here are a few excerpts of thank you letters:

"I am so very grateful for your support of my education. As a full time husband, parent, and serviceman, I find that furthering my education can be a big challenge. I know that without your generous help, I would have had a much more difficult time completing my college education. Thank you…"

"As a full time Coast Guardsman and a full time father, fitting in time for school is hard. Finding the extra money for school is even harder. Again, thank you for assisting…"

"This grant allows me to attend school while still tending to the needs of my family."

"I would not have been able to continue my education without the support of the educational grant program."
