Merit Scholarship Program

Since 1986, FEEA has awarded almost 11,000 merit-based scholarships to federal public servants, their spouses, children, and grandchildren.

It’s National Scholarship Month and FEEA’s 2023-24 merit scholarship program launches today with the opening of our application period. Students can start an application anytime and must submit no later than our deadline: Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 3:00pm EDT.

Eligible students are:

  • Children or step-children of federal employees

    Students may be a high school senior or already in college and children must be under age 25 and still considered a dependent of their sponsor. (Grandchildren are eligible for NARFE and BIG-sponsored scholarships only)

  • Spouses of federal employees
  • Federal employees

All students must:

  • Have an unweighted, cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher;
  • Be in or entering a degree-granting program at an accredited institution;
  • Be a full-time student (only feds may be part-time), and;
  • Federal employee sponsors must have at least 3 years of service by the application deadline
