The MG James Ursano Scholarship Program is a need-based scholarship program established to assist children of Army soldiers in obtaining their first undergraduate degree. Applicants must reapply each year and may receive assistance for up to four academic years as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.

Due to issues with the availability of the FAFSA application, Army Emergency Relief (AER) will delay accepting MG Ursano applications until February 1^st for the 2024-2025 academic year. The 2024-2025 application cycle runs from February 1 through April 1, 2024.

Dependent children, stepchildren or legally adopted children of Army Reserve Service members on drill status are not eligible for the MG James Ursano Scholarship.
