2026 High School Tuition Application

FOR ACTIVE DUTY DEPENDENTS
The Maxwell-Gunter Spouses' Club (MGSC) is now offering scholarships to help alleviate the cost of tuition for students attending a private high school that are stationed at Maxwell-Gunter AFB. The financial support for these awards is provided by the Maxwell Thrift Shop.

Scholarships are awarded to the selected students based on the completion of requirements and the quality of essays written. Scholarship amounts will be determined by funding availability. All awards may not be given if candidates do not meet eligibility and selection criteria.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: At the time the scholarship application is due, students must meet the following criteria:

Essays will be redacted and placed in categories based on their incoming grade level. A Scholarship Judging Committee will read the redacted essays and score accordingly. The scores will be compiled to determine the recipients and amounts awarded to each. Funds will be sent directly to the high school listed after verification of enrollment to be used strictly towards tuition.
