2016 Tillman Scholars Announced and Honors Granted

 

Marie Tillman, President and Co-Founder of the Pat Tillman Foundation, announced the names of the 60 U.S. service members, veterans and military spouses chosen as 2016 Tillman Scholars. In recognition of their military service, leadership and academic excellence, the newly selected class will receive over $1.8 million in scholarships to pursue their higher education and continue their service in the fields of medicine, law, business, policy, technology, education and the arts. For the full list of 2016 Tillman Scholars, with the service branches, institutions and fields of study from which they were selected, please visit: http://pattillmanfoundation.org/2016class

“Each Tillman Scholar named has demonstrated a unique perseverance and dedication to empower others around them,” said Marie Tillman, President and Co-Founder of the Pat Tillman Foundation. “

As a community of emerging leaders – now over 460 strong – they are joining forces to tackle some of the toughest challenges that our communities face in education, healthcare, civil rights, and foreign policy. In Pat’s spirit of service, we are proud to unite and support them as leaders for our country both at home and abroad.”

To date, the Pat Tillman Foundation has invested nearly $14 million in academic support since 2004, and named over 460 Tillman Scholars at over 100 academic institutions nationwide. From July 21st-24th, the foundation will convene the 2016 Pat Tillman Leadership Summit, bringing together new, current and alumni Tillman Scholars at Roosevelt University and VenueSIX10 in Chicago to collaborate and address some of the toughest challenges impacting the country and our communities.

The Tillman Scholars Program

Founded in 2008, the Tillman Scholars program supports our nation’s active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses by investing in their higher education. The scholarship program covers direct study-related expenses, including tuition and fees, books and living expenses, for scholars who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate degrees as a full-time student at a public or private, U.S.-based accredited institution. To note, active-duty personnel and veterans do have incentivized student loan plans that offer many benefits in terms of interest rates and repayment. In case of having accrued substantial debt before going on-duty, certain federal subsidies are also provided to them, besides the option to look for refinancing loans being always open. However, if selected, obtaining a full scholarship would be the most beneficial to service men and women. It would allow them to pursue a graduate or postgraduate degree without having to worry about overheads like tuition, books, special course fee, etc. The selection process for the Tillman Scholars program is highly competitive with up to 60 Tillman Scholars chosen annually.

2016-2017 University Partners

During the 2016 selection process, the foundation was proud to collaborate with 17 University Partners, who offer innovative, veteran-specific services and a strong culture of support for military veterans and spouses while providing rigorous academic experiences, to identify and select qualified candidates on their campuses for the Tillman Scholar screening process. The 2016-2017 University Partners included Arizona State University; Columbia University; Georgetown University; George Washington University; Indiana University; Texas A&M University; The Ohio State University; The University of Alabama; University of Arizona; University of California, Los Angeles; University of Maryland, College Park; University of Minnesota; University of Missouri System; University of Oklahoma; University of Oregon; University of South Florida; and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
