Fort Rucker Community Spouses’ Club Academic Scholarship Program

The Fort Rucker Community Spouses’ Club (FRCSC) has a long-standing tradition of serving the local community through its scholarship program.  With funds raised by club events and funds donated by local businesses and organizations, scholarships are awarded to local military affiliated graduating high school and continuing education students.
Scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, community involvement, work experience, school activities, an essay, and letters of recommendation.
Scholarships are available to military dependents of all ranks (active duty, national guard, Reserve, retired or deceased) and dependents of DA/DoD civilians assigned to and/or living within a 50-mile radius of Fort Rucker. Applicants can be a graduating high school senior or student continuing their higher education.
Applicants must be considered a full-time student (12 semester hours) and currently enrolled or intend to be enrolled in an accredited college/university or trade/vocational school for the 2020-2021 academic year.
