looking for scholarship information

[chesapeakeheart]

My father was in the merchant marines during wwII. My brother told me he remembers seeing something where the descendants of merchant marines can apply for scholarship $ for college. Anyone have any information on this??

WW II Merchant Mariners were awarded Veterans status recently.

Looks like there are scholarship bucks around depending on where you live and/or where you plan to go to school. Check these hits from my Google search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r...=1273643681140

It looks like documenting WWII Merchant Mariner service may be the tough part, at least where the VA Administration is concerned: http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/admin21/.../ch02_secf.doc

Good Luck.
