The Navy League Foundation’s Scholarship Program is a true endowment fund; only earnings from the fund will be expended, leaving the principal untouched. Therefore, each named scholarship is endowed in perpetuity. Initial contributions to the fund have included gifts from both individuals and corporations. Ways to Give In 2003 the Navy League will be awarding $2500 scholarships. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, leadership achievement, character, all-around ability, and financial need. In general, students awarded scholarships must be U.S. citizens who are intelligent, well-motivated young men and women, and who have demonstrated an appreciation of the laws, traditions and values of the United States. To be eligible for the scholarships (except for the Subic Bay-Cubi Point), applicants must be an U.S. citizen, a high school graduate under the age of 25 years and entering their freshman year of college in the fall of 2003, and a dependent or direct descendant of a current or former member of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or U.S.-flag Merchant Marines or an active member of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. See below for criteria for the Subic Bay-Cubi Point scholarship. You can download the 2003 Scholarship Application or send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Navy League Foundation, 2300 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22201-3308.
