Scholarship Program

Throughout the year, the HRCPOSA holds multiple fundraising events to support two monetary scholarships for a spouse or child dependent of United States Navy and Coast Guard Chief, Senior Chief and Master Chief Petty Officers.

These scholarships are available to a prospective student working towards an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree program. 

The 2025-2026 scholarship will be available in January 2026. The Hampton Roads Chief Petty Officer Spouse Association (HRCPOSA) will be awarding two scholarships for the 2026-2027 School Year. One $2000 scholarship to an HRCPOSA paid-member (Silver or Gold Level) or dependent, and one $250.00 scholarship to any Bronze level member or non-member, Navy or Coast Guard dependent. The Deadline to become a member of the association in order to qualify for the $2000 scholarship is March 1, 2026 at 11:50 p.m. EST. Applications will be accepted beginning January 1, 2026. The deadline for all applications is June 1, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Scholarship recipients will be notified by email no later than June 15, 2026.
