The National Association of Military Families (NMFA) is pleased to announce the Military Spouse Scholarship. The scholarship program is named after Joanne Holbrook Patton, daughter of the Fifth Generation Army and daughter-in-law of General George S. Patton.
NMFA has taken note of the barriers military spouses face as a result of the mobile military lifestyle and wants to help them “get to the finish line.”
