Big news from the ADS Mission Give Back Foundation.

The Foundation has opened its 2023 Scholarship Program this year to all graduating high school seniors from military, law enforcement and first responder families.

Applications for a total of $30,000 in scholarship money are being accepted now through May 22, and can be found at adsinc.com/mission-give-back.

“Throughout their lives, these kids have sacrificed for their nation and their communities right alongside their parents,” said Nikki Williams, Deputy General Counsel and VP of Compliance. “Missed birthdays, holidays, big games, school plays – you name it. ADS understands these kids’ sacrifices, and we hope this scholarship money can help them build a foundation for a successful future.”

The program is available to all graduating high school seniors who are the dependents of military, law enforcement and first responders and plan to attend a 2-year community college, a trade school, or a 4-year college or university. The Mission Give Back® Foundation specifically seeks students with a record of community volunteerism in non-school sponsored activities and extracurricular school activities.

Applications must be received by ADS Mission Give Back® Foundation no later than May 22, and late applications will not be accepted. Scholarships will be awarded in amounts of $1,000 to $5,000 each.

“This is a really fantastic opportunity for kids from military and first responder families to bring down the high cost of college tuition,” said Williams. “If anyone knows any qualified seniors looking for a little extra college money, I hope you'll point them to our website and encourage them to apply.”
