The demand for the Virtual Schooling Grant has been dramatic. Despite our best efforts to stretch the Virtual Schooling Grant to as many families as possible, we are now up against our funding limit. We will aggressively seek additional funds to continue this support, but for now, we are not accepting future applications.
Air Force Aid Society recognizes many Air Force and Space Force families have faced extra expenses resulting from school closings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are an Air Force or Space Force family experiencing financial hardship and facing difficulty paying the additional costs associated with purchasing home school supplies and equipment for the fall 2020 academic year, we can help!
For a limited time, we are offering a one-time $250 grant to eligible Air Force and Space Force families with a financial need to help with virtual schooling costs for school supplies of their dependents in grades K through 12.
