The Purple Heart Scholarship Program is a competitive program that awards scholarships to Purple Heart recipients and their spouses, children, and grandchildren each year. At least one applicant with military service will also be awarded a Navy SEAL LT Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Award.
This program gives the Military Order of the Purple Heart the ability to assist Purple Heart recipients and their families with their goals of continued education. We have a truncated timeline this year, and so we will be accepting completed packets digitally this year. If you or a qualifying family member want to apply, please submit quickly.
Deadline for ALL complete scholarship applications is 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) July 15, 2021.
To be eligible to apply for a Purple Heart Scholarship, applicants need to be a member of one of the following categories:
- A Purple Heart recipient who is a Member of the MOPH, or
- The spouse of a Purple Heart recipient who is a member of MOPH, or
- The direct lineal descendent (child, step-child, adopted child, grandchild, or step-grandchild) of a Purple Heart recipient who is a Member of MOPH, or
- The spouse, widow/widower, or direct lineal descendent as defined above of a service member killed-in-action or who died of wounds. If the Purple Heart recipient is listed as killed-in-action or died of wounds, supporting documentation and evidence must be included with the application.
