Please join us on Saturday, September 12 for the Folds of Honor Patriot Dinner benefiting the Folds of Honor New Mexico Chapter.
Folds of Honor has set a new record for the 2025-2026 academic year, awarding nearly 11,000 scholarships valued at over $53 million to the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. This milestone brings our total scholarships to nearly 73,000, valued at over $340 million since our inception in 2007. Despite this record achievement, the need remains significant, with approximately 7,700 qualified applicants unable to receive full funding due to limited resources. We continue to honor the sacrifice of military families and first responders with our goal to increase scholarships applications by 20% this year.
