The Coast Guard Foundation funds the dependents and spouses of enlisted members and commissioned officers. Dependent scholarships are worth up to $5,000, are open to unmarried children aged 24 or under who are high school seniors or undergraduates, and may be used at a community college, a four-year university or a trade school, including for professional certification. Eligible students may reapply for up to four years. Spouse Grants of $1,000 support non-military spouses of enlisted members in pay grades E-1 to E-9 taking professional development courses, licensing courses, certificates, certifications, or college and graduate degrees, with priority given to spouses of E-6 and below. A separate Fallen Heroes Scholarship supports the dependent children of members who died in Coast Guard land, air or sea operations.
