About
ThanksUSA
ThanksUSA was established in 2005 as a national nonprofit organization that thanks the men and women
in the U.S. military by providing need-based, postsecondary scholarships for their spouses and children.
With these scholarships, they can pursue educational
and professional opportunities otherwise out of reach.
ThanksUSA has awarded nearly 3,700 scholarships with
a total value of more than $11 million to military families
in all 50 states and every branch of the military.
“As a mother of five, I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend
school and set an example for my children.”
–Marine Corps spouse Angela Nickerl
