JACKSON IN ACTION 83 FOUNDATION INC

Our salute to scholars program provides scholarship money annually to three high school aged recipients in the tampa bay area and three more in the colorado springs area who receive of $3,000, $2,000, $1,000, and $500. To apply for the scholarship, students must be the dependent of an active duty, retired, or deceased member of the military. Students must write two essays, one describing what career path they plan to take and another describing what it means to them to have a parent/guardian who served in the armed forces. The foundation also awards three scholarships to veterans in the same amounts who need to complete a degree or continuing education credits to keep or obtain a civilian job.
