Seabee Wounded in Action Scholarship

SMSA stands along side our wounded Seabees and their families throughout the recovery process.

 

Our Seabee Wounded in Action Scholarship provides scholarship support to Seabee and CEC children and grandchildren of Purple Heart recipients, ensuring that these children have the opportunity to attend college, community college or vocation/technical intuitions.  

With these scholarships we are providing necessary support to fill the funding gaps our students are experiencing. True to our higher calling, we are honoring the service and sacrifice of Seabees and their families,
