Responding on all Fronts
IDENTIFYING CHILDREN
FUNDING THE GAP
Even after every other source of aid is pieced to- gether, a persistent gap of about $25,000 per child remains for the total cost of college. With over 52% of surviving families making less than $50,000 per year, that gap can be unsurmountable. That is where Fallen Patriots steps in.
Identifying all 25,000 students who need help is one of our primary strategic goals. We believe our database is as big or bigger than any in our space. We work with the VA, the Department of Defense, military units and other military charities to identify students. We will not rest until we find them all and connect them with the help they deserve and need.
52% of families earn less than $50K/year

SUPPORTING DIRECTLY
95%* of the revenue raised goes directly to program- ming and scholar support. Our operating costs are almost fully covered by our generous and committed Board, allowing almost every dollar raised to be put to work where it is needed most.
Over 75% of the families we serve struggle to make ends meet. Our scholarships not only lift a huge fi - nancial burden but also provide a precious reminder to our scholars that their fellow Americans will never forget their parent’s sacrifice.
