Children of Marines, and of Navy Corpsmen, Chaplains and Religious Program Specialists who served with Marine units, can get $2,500, $5,000, $7,500 or $10,000 a year based on financial need, GPA and funding, for up to four paid years. You reapply each year, you need at least a 2.0 GPA, and your family income has to be $134,000 or less (2025 tax year). The money is paid after you graduate high school.
