The Operation Education Scholarship
The Operation Education Scholarship at Adrian College is designed to financially assist severely wounded U.S. military personnel in their pursuit of continuing education. The program provides resources and support to empower returning veterans. The scholarship supplements the federal financial resources available to veterans and their families by providing assistance with costs not otherwise covered. In addition to assistance with the direct educational costs of fees, tuition and textbooks, support may be provided for on-campus housing needs, transportation, adaptive equipment, child care, tutoring, and accommodative services.
Funding
Major funding for the scholarship program is provided through the support of Adrian College alumni and friends. Funding is also provided by individuals, corporations and foundations who share the college’s interest in assisting America’s wounded veterans.
Eligibility
- Honorably separated U.S. military veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Reserves, or National Guard.

- Meets requirements for admission to Adrian College as a degree-seeking student.
