The Folded Flag Foundation was formed in 2014 as a nonprofit organization that relies on public donations to provide scholarships to the spouses and children of U.S. military and other government personnel who have lost their lives in defense of our country.

To qualify for The Folded Flag Foundation’s scholarship program, applicants must be the spouse or child (aged 0-26) of a U.S. military or government personnel who lost his or her life as a result of hostile action or in an accident related to U.S. combat operations.
