MCA Behind the Camouflage Scholarship

In collaboration with the Marine Corps Association (MCA), Columbia Southern University is proud to celebrate the resilience, ambition, and spirit of Marine Corps spouses. By supporting spouses who are pursuing education or professional development and who exemplify the strength and connection that sustain Marine Corps families, this scholarship honors their vital role of those behind the camouflage—uplifting those who serve in their own extraordinary way.

The scholarship will open on March 15, and close April 30.

Each scholarship will be directly applied to the recipient’s tuition for up to 60 semester hours, three years, or until the selected online degree program [associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree] is completed, whichever comes first.

Eligibility:

• Current CSU students must meet all these requirements to be considered.
• The recipient must be 18 years old.
• Students who have previous college experience must meet CSU’s academic requirements for admission to the university.
• Be a high school graduate or equivalent (GED)
• Be available to begin coursework within (90) days of the date of the award.
• Maintain a 3.0 undergraduate or graduate GPA.
• Able to maintain continuous enrollment in a degree program. Students must submit a scholarship annually, which should include proof of enrollment, proof of good standing, an official transcript, and at least a 3.0 GPA.
• Scholarship recipients will be chosen in partnership with the Marine Corps Association (MCA) and will be selected by an impartial committee appointed by the Marine Corps Association.
