Children of Fallen Patriots’ mission is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. According to their own research, nearly 25,000 dependents have been left behind by troops who have fallen in the line of duty over the past 35 years. Many surviving families struggle to make ends meet with 53% of surviving spouses making less than $50,000 per year.
With no central repository of information from which to find these children, the organization works to find each and every one of these children to assist them in their growing success.
