Programs
The Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund was founded to
help support surviving U.S. Military children who have lost
a parent in the Afghanistan or Iraq wars by providing them with
College Grants. Our program has been expanded to include spouses
of our fallen as well as those whose parent or spouse has suffered
a severe disability as a result of their efforts in either war.
Our College Grant Program has
been expanded to include both U.S. Military children and spouses
who has either lost a loved one as a result of the Iraq or Afghanistan
wars or have a severely disabled parent or spouse that was injured
in either war. To apply, please complete an application.
Our Financial Assistance Program
is to help the surviving members of these families with
financial assistance. Our goal is to make awards to applicants
in need of assistance with housing, repairs, utilities, medical
expenses, groceries, clothing, school supplies and other expenses
deemed necessary in order to help alleviate their burden. To
apply for assistance, please complete an application.

the upcoming Spring 2008 semester. If you are applying for assistance,
please submit all completed paperwork prior to the deadline.
Completed Financial Assistance applications are due by the
end of each quarter: March, June, September and December. Incomplete
submissions will not be considered.
Our Grant Committee meets six times a year; the month following
the end of each quarter and semi-annually for College applicants.
Financial assistance applications must be complete and full
submissions received prior to the end of each quarter. College
applications must be postmarked by April 30th and October 31st
in order to be considered for the Spring and Fall semesters.
Our awards since 1/05 total $161,058.00 that has provided
financial assistance to families with 16 children, College awards
to 6 surviving spouses and 3 surviving children. We are pleased
to report that our admin/management expenses for the year ending
2006 were less than 5% of total revenues. Many of our College
Scholarship recipients have recurring scholarships that enable
them to complete their education.

apply for assistance so please, if you know someone that may
be experiencing difficulties have them contact us.

The Children of the
Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund is a non-profit organization that
is not affiliated with any government agency. We are able to
provide college grants and financial assistance solely do to
the generosity of those who donate to the organization. Some
donations are made with stipulations that they be awarded within
a certain state or branch of military. Since our funds are limited
at times, we have to review each application, then make decisions
on awards based on the needs of the applicants and the funds
available at that time.
For corporations and businesses
that wish to donate on behalf of our families or are able to
provide grants for administrative costs, please contact us at
