First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF)

Scholarships
We award an average of $175,000 each year in various scholarship categories.

The Donaldson D. Frizzell scholarship, our only direct-apply scholarship, awards up to $25,000 each year to both traditional and non-traditional students. We have several partnership scholarships with community organizations and institutions around the nation.

Education

Each year, our staff or trained volunteers provide an average of 50 separate presentations on a variety of topics to general, military, and federal employee audiences.

In 2009, FCEF launched our educator-developed and approved ”Money Matters” curriculum to help high school students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to take control of their financial future. And our ”Military Money Matters” includes five military-specific modules in addition to the 12 basic modules.

All of our educational products are offered free of charge to public schools as well as military organizations and families.
