Scholarships for Members of the Military

Several colleges have created new scholarships to try to counter sequester-motivated suspension of tuition assistance from the U.S. Department of Defense for active-duty members of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard and Marine Corps. Those institutions include Troy University, Southern New Hampshire University, Touro University, Park University, Endicott College and Drury University. Meanwhile, Sen. Jim Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, introduced an amendment that seeks to restore the funding.
