As the costs of tuition at most universities and colleges continue to rise, 1st Cavalry Division Soldiers and their families have an option available to them which helps defray some of the costs incurred when seeking higher education. The scholarship grant --which can be applied for every year-- currently provides $1,000 per school year to Soldiers and family members who apply and are accepted into the program.
