About the Tillman ScholarsCreated in 2008 through the Pat Tillman Foundation, the Tillman Scholars program supports U.S. active duty service members, veterans, and military spouses pursuing higher education. The scholarship assists with educational expenses including tuition and fees, books, and living expenses. Tillman Scholars can expect an average award of $10,000. Scholars become a part of a network of talented military leaders who will make a significant impact in the fields of medicine, law, business, policy, technology, education and the arts. Syracuse University is honored to be a Pat Tillman Foundation University Partner. Each year, at least one student will be selected as the Syracuse University Tillman Scholar. SU applicants who are applying for funding to complete a degree at SU may apply to be an SU Tillman Scholar. SU applicants who wish to pursue graduate studies at a non-University Partner institution may also apply, though they will apply “at large” rather than through SU.
