In June, the Pat Tillman Foundation awarded 60 men and women with the distinction of being named Tillman Military Scholars for 2010. This deserving group was awarded $720,000 in scholarship support to complete their educational goals at 31 universities across the country.

The Tillman Military Scholars program funds scholarships to veterans, active servicemembers and their dependents, especially those who have been impacted by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Currently Tillman Military Scholars represent nearly every branch of the armed forces: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard and Reserves.
