Grant from The Sallie Mae Fund Will Support Scholarships for Children and Spouses of Fallen and Disabled Military Servicemembers

In honor of Veterans Day, The Sallie Mae Fund today announced a $50,000 grant to Folds of Honor, reinforcing its commitment to military servicemembers and their families. The grant will specifically support scholarships for the children and families of fallen and disabled military servicemembers.

“Sallie Mae’s continued support of our scholarship program provides a pathway to higher education for servicemembers’ families, helping them build the kind of futures their loved ones fought so hard to protect,” said Allen Wronowski, director, Folds of Honor. “Our motto is ‘Honor Their Sacrifice and Educate Their Legacy,’ and it’s through partners, like Sallie Mae, we put those words into action.”

Since 2014, The Sallie Mae Fund has provided more than $535,000, supporting more than 100 scholarships for Folds of Honor families.

“The important work of Folds of Honor not only opens doors to higher education for deserving students but also serves as a powerful tribute to the servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” said Nic Jafarieh, executive vice president, Sallie Mae. “We are proud to continue our support of these efforts which also align with our mission to help more students access and complete college.”
