FORT BELVOIR, Va. –
The Defense Logistics Agency Foundation is offering scholarships to students who have a close family connection to a current or past civilian or military DLA employee.
The scholarship application window starts Feb. 28 and will close April 7 at 11:59 p.m. Awards will be announced in June.
A child, stepchild, grandchild, niece, or nephew of a current or former DLA military or civilian government employee is considered a close family connection.
Up to 30 scholarships of $2,000 each will be awarded. Merit and financial need are the main criteria for judging applications.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens who are high school seniors or college students who will attend an undergraduate school, trade school or technical school as a full-time student in academic year 2025-2026 with 12 semester hours.
Appointees to military service academies are not eligible.
Students must have at least a minimum 3.0 grade point average. SAT or ACT scores are no longer required in submissions by high school seniors. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid Submission Summary will be used to determine financial need. The maximum Student Aid Index in the FAFSA Submission Summary that will be considered is 15,000.
In addition to scholarships from the foundation’s general fund, one $2,000 scholarship will be awarded through a donor-funded scholarship in honor of Frank Lotts to a student who is pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering or math.
