2010 Scholarships for Military Children Now Open

The 2010 Scholarships for Military Children began taking applications on November 3. According to the Scholarships for Military Children website, these scholarships are available to you if "your mother or father is active duty, reserve/guard, or retired military personnel or you are the survivor of a deceased member, and you have a military dependent I.D. card you can apply! You must be planning to attend a college or university on a full-time basis."

Applications are available in commissaries or at the website. As someone who has had family members in the military for many, many generations, I want to make sure those of you with military connections are aware of this resource. Some additional resources you may want to consider:

• About.com Guide to the U.S Military
• Resources and Information on Using the GI Bill
• U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs GI Bill website
