The Department of North Carolina Scholarship Program was created to provide educational support for combat-wounded veterans and the lineal descendants of Purple Heart recipients.
This scholarship program is funded entirely by the Department of North Carolina and is not affiliated with the National Military Order of the Purple Heart’s national scholarship initiative. Each year, the Department of North Carolina awards scholarships through a competitive selection process to applicants who meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Recipient of the Purple Heart medal
- Direct descendant of a Purple Heart recipient
- Recipient of the MOPH ROTC Leadership Award
Scholarships are awarded annually, based on eligibility and available funding. Please note that not all applicants will receive a scholarship, and award amounts may vary from year to year. This is not a full-tuition scholarship.
