How would you like to win a scholarship to help pay for college? Last year, $102,000 was awarded to students and spouses from the KMC.

If you are a high school senior who will graduate this year or a military spouse attending college you may be eligible to win a scholarship.

Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors and spouses of active duty, retired military and Department of Defense civilians residing in the KMC.

Scholarships are awarded solely on merit and academic achievement, with no regard to race, color, creed, religion or disability. Financial need is not taken into consideration.

The KMC Scholarship Committee is comprised of members representing the Ramstein Officers’ Spouses Club, Ramstein Enlisted Spouses’ Association, and the Kaiserslautern Landstuhl Spouses’ Association. Scholarship funds are donated by all three organizations raised from the Ramstein Welfare Bazaar, Thrift Shop sales and various fundraisers. Last year, more than $102,000 was awarded in scholarships.
