In 2012, 35 scholarships totaling $73,000 were awarded to high school and college students from 13 states; all full time students in 4-year accredited U.S. universities coast-to-coast and in the District of Columbia.
Step one:
Are you eligible to apply?
The Anchor Scholarship is awarded to dependents (children and spouses) of our Surface Navy sailors.
The sponsor will either be active duty, retired or deceased. The sponsor must have served a minimum of six (6) years in units under the administrative control of Commanders, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Atlantic or U.S. Pacific Fleet. The six years need not be consecutive.
The applicant must attend or plan to attend an accredited four-year college/university in the U.S. and intend to work toward their first BS or BA degree full time. The applicant may be a spouse, high school senior, or a college student in an accredited school or equivalent institution.
The deadline to submit the eligibility application is March 1, 2013. Remember-it's a deadline, and it's firm.
Step two:
The scholarship application
Once your eligibility is confirmed, we will send you the scholarship application. Get organized now! Gather the following documents:
* FAFSA (5-6 pages, the Electronic Student Aid Report)
* College/High School transcripts
* 3 letters of recommendation (one of them must be from a non-academic source)
* SAT/ACT scores
Step three:
The hardest part...waiting
Our Selection Committee reviews all of the applications. Recipients are selected on the basis of four equally weighted criteria:
. Academic Proficiency
. Character and All-around Ability
. Extra-curricular Activities

Those selected to receive an Anchor Scholarship are notified in May and invited to attend our Award Ceremony in June.
