About Silent Warrior Foundation:

Founded in 2010, the Silent Warrior Scholarship Fund was set up by Reconnaissance Marines in memory of their fallen brothers. Originally founded with the mission to award scholarships based on the direct familial relationship to a Reconnaissance Marine/0321 or Critical Skills Operator/0372, its mission has evolved beyond the initial focus. Due to the alarming rate of veteran suicides and Veterans requiring assistance, the board decided to focus on our Veterans in need as well as provide scholarships.

The new mission has grown to encompass support for our Veterans & their families by providing access to emergency assistance, mental health services, education, and scholarships.
