The National POW/MIA Survivors Scholarship Program raises funds for the POW/MIA Scholarship Trust Fund in Honor of the Servicemen & Women who were Prisoners of War, or are considered Missing In Action while serving in the defense of the United States of America, or its allies during times of armed conflict. The Scholarship Trust Fund provides scholarships to direct descendants and spouses of verifiable POW/MIA Servicemen and Women. Scholarships are limited to the Veteran, the Spouse of the veteran, children, and grandchildren of the veteran.

The POW/MIA Scholarship Trust Fund is a Survivors Trust and should not be confused with any other POW/MIA Programs associated with the American Legion or VFW. It is not restricted to American Legion or Forty & Eight members, but it is open to all bonified POW/MIAs. The MIA has not had the luxury to choose which Veteran's organization he or she wants to join, and so this fund is open to all survivors that meet the eligibility requirements regardless of affiliation.

Fundraising is accomplished primarily by the sale of POW/MIA shirts, pins, ball caps, and decals. Goose Creek Voiture 1067 is proactive in POW/MIA Fundraising.

Those eligible to apply for the POW/MIA Scholarship shall be limited to the POW or MIA Veteran, Spouse, Sons, Daughters, Grand Sons and Grand Daughters. Further consideration for scholarship funding by the Committee will be based upon, but not limited to, the following eligibility requirements:

• Verifiable documentation of relationship to the veteran through which the application is being made with fully completed application.
• Certified transcripts of the previous academic achievements
• Financial need
• Written acceptance of enrollment by an accredited school or university.
• The continuance of scholarship funding shall be determined by a Committee review of the recipients semester grades which under no condition can be less than a "C" average annually.
• All scholarship funds will be paid directly to the school or university
