At SoldierStrong, we believe in honoring service not just with thanks — but with opportunity. That’s why we created the SoldierScholar program: to help post-9/11 veterans return to school, earn degrees, and build lives of impact after service.
These are the same men and women who ran toward danger.
Now, they’re striving to become doctors, engineers, teachers, and public servants.
But they can’t do it alone.
Even with GI Bill benefits, many veterans face serious financial gaps when trying to complete a college degree. Housing costs, textbooks, lab fees, childcare — it all adds up. And when you’re juggling part-time jobs, a family, and the invisible wounds of war, the pressure can become overwhelming.
SoldierScholar exists to bridge that gap.
We partner with top universities across the country — including Syracuse University, Georgetown University, and Old Dominion University — to provide direct financial assistance to veterans pursuing higher education.
Your donation today goes toward helping these men and women complete their degrees and achieve their goals.
Your support means a veteran can walk into their first day of class prepared.
Your gift means a struggling family doesn’t have to choose between rent and tuition.
Your generosity means a hero who once led troops in battle can now lead in business, medicine, or public service.
This is how we say: Welcome home. We still believe in you.
Every story we see from SoldierScholar recipients is a testament to resilience. Many go on to careers in medicine, law, business, and public service — continuing to lead in civilian life just as they did in uniform. They’re not looking for handouts. They’re looking for a path forward.
You can give it to them.
Please, make a tax-deductible donation today and help turn battlefield courage into classroom success.
At SoldierStrong, we stand by our veterans at every stage of their journey — from physical rehabilitation with cutting-edge technology, to mental health support, to educational empowerment.
The uniform may come off, but our commitment never does.
Join us in helping a new generation of veterans discover what comes next.
Thank you for believing in their future.
With gratitude,
Dr. Chris Meek
