Mission of Navy SEAL Foundation
The Navy SEAL Foundation's mission is to provide immediate and ongoing support and assistance to the Naval Special Warfare community and their families. Navy SEAL Foundation's Three Core Areas of Support Members of the Naval Special Warfare community, their spouses and their children make many sacrifices, both large and small, in service to our country.
Our objective is to provide support and promote peace of mind to those who live with a high level of unknown factors as a matter of routine. Family Services Show Compassion and Build Morale We support families by easing their burden when an active-duty member of the NSW community is injured or killed in action. We help with memorial services and defray the financial costs for travel for immediate family members who live far away. We also assist families in maintaining a sense of normalcy during deployments by funding holiday celebrations, children's sports days and campouts, and partnering with YMCAs to offer fitness memberships and childcare services.
Educational Programs Encourage Life-long Learning Active-duty NSW personnel, their spouses and their children benefit from scholarship programs and other educational assistance provided by the Navy SEAL Foundation. In cases where the Navy provides only tuition funds, we step up to help cover the cost of educational expenses such as books and lab fees.
Our program for children of NSW operators killed in training or combat provides new computers every three years through the completion of their secondary education. Legacy Activities Ensure That Service is Always Honored The Navy SEAL Foundation is strongly committed to making sure that the extraordinary contributions made in defense of our freedoms by members of the NSW community are remembered. We provide funding for monuments and memorials to fallen operators across the country. Donate You can support the Navy SEAL Foundation by making a credit card contribution online. Making a donation through our registered secure server is fast and easy, and you will receive an acknowledgement for your tax records.
Endowment Society The Navy SEAL Foundation Endowment Society was established in spring of 2005 to ensure that the NSW warriors of today and tomorrow will be perpetually honored and supported. This vital campaign has been established and dedicated to raise a total of $25 million for the benefit of the U.S. Navy SEALs, SWCCs, and NSW combat enabling personnel; the warriors of Naval Special Warfare who are at the forefront of the Global War On Terrorism.

Navy SEAL Foundation Scholarship Opportunities
The Navy SEAL Foundation has scholarship opportunities available to NSW active duty service members, their spouses and dependent children, as well children of qualifying former NSW service members. These scholarships are provided as an effort to bridge the gap between a desired level of education and the current level of education of NSW service members. The scholarship opportunities include one to four year grants for education, vocational, certificate and leadership programs. The educational scholarships are to post-secondary programs, such as Bachelors or Associates Degrees, and also include graduate degree scholarship opportunities for qualifying applicants.
While you cannot simultaneously receive Navy SEAL Foundation, UDT-SEAL Association, and DEVRU scholarships, it is highly suggested that applicants apply for each available scholarship for which they are qualified to further the opportunity of being awarded a scholarship.
