Happy 114th Birthday, Navy Corpsmen

This Sunday marks the 114^th anniversary of the Navy Hospital Corps and FRA salutes the brave men and women who provide quality care and heartfelt compassion at home, aboard ship and in the field of combat.

FRA’s Education Foundation offers a special scholarship for children of enlisted Navy corpsmen who serve or have served with Marine units.  Thanks to an endowment from Col. Hazel Elizabeth Benn, the Foundation provides a $2,000 scholarship to qualified applicants entering their freshman or sophomore year of college. Applications for the Benn and other FRA Education Foundation scholarships will be available after September 1, 2012. 

Contributions to support other Foundation scholarships are welcome via FRA’s website and through the 2012 Combined Federal Campaign (Code 80236) this fall.
