The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Education Assistance Program provides financial assistance to eligible Navy and Marine Corps families by providing scholarships and no-interest loans. Awards are provided based on an applicant’s financial need. Scholarships range from $500 to $3,000, and interest-free loans are available for up to $4,000 per academic year. This assistance can be used to pay for tuition, books, fees, room and board.
You may be eligible for a scholarship or loan through NMCRS if you are a child (under age 23) of an active duty, retired or deceased sailor or Marine; a spouse of an active duty or retired sailor or Marine; or an active-duty sailor or Marine enrolled in a Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Education Program/Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program loan-only program.
