Armed Forces Family Scholarship & Assistance Fund
The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation undertook a special initiative to cover eligible children whose parent was killed in the line of duty between 1 January 2002 and 15 July 2003. The goal of the Armed Forces Family Scholarship & Assistance Fund (AFFSAF) was to provide scholarships for the higher education of children of all fallen service personnel in the Iraqi and Afghanistan war operations. We provided a $40,000 maturity value bond to every eligible child whose parent was killed in these tragic events. The branches of military include the US Air Force, US Army, US Marine Corps, US Navy and Coalition Partners. This program's value was over $11,000,000.00.


The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, Inc. is also registered to participate in the Combined Federal Campaigns (CFC #10507).
