  • Orion Military Scholarships

    Orion Military Scholarships, in recognition of the courage and devotion of our military personnel, offers scholarships to select US boarding schools for children from active duty military families.

    Orion Military Scholarships create opportunities for eligible children of active duty military personnel to attend select U.S. boarding schools.

    Given that most military children will be relocated at least once during their high school years, enrolling in a boarding school provides students with a continuous four-year experience, without disruption of academic achievement, athletic progress, and social development
