A Scholar. A mentor. A debt-free degree.

We calculate exactly what's left after every other source of aid and fund it — from enrollment to graduation — so no Scholar carries debt because of a parent's sacrifice. Then we pair every Scholar with a dedicated mentor until the diploma is in their hands.

Lexus Moorefield

East Carolina University

Lexus and her twin brother, Noah, were only 2 ½ years old when their father was deployed to Iraq. Their father, SSG Kent Moorefield (retired) was serving as a supply sergeant with the 505th Engr. in Mosul, Iraq. After serving 14 months in Iraq, he returned home a changed man suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He served faithfully and proudly for 26 years in the military and then joined Joint Force Headquarters in Raleigh, NC as a contract Logistics Manager serving there 12 ½ years.

Clemson University · Class of 2021

The NGS scholarship is more than just a scholarship to me. The program itself keeps patriotism alive and that's very important to me considering how much my mother has sacrificed through mind, body and spirit. I want to thank all of the donors who made my scholarship possible!
