Government Scholarships

Millions of Scholarships, personalized results

 and get matched to scholarships that are personalized for you.

Working for the government can definitely have its perks when you decide to go to college, and it can be beneficial for the whole family. For instance, there are scholarships available to those that have lost a parent or spouse while in the line of duty as a U.S. Marshall, NCIS employee, game warden, FBI agent, and more. Also, if you or your spouse is active duty military, there are many scholarships and educational benefits available through the government as well.

One of the best things about working for the government is that there are many opportunities to continue your education while still working full time. Many agencies offer tuition reimbursement programs, which can help offset the cost of going back to school. Additionally, there are many scholarships and educational benefits available to government employees and their families.

The Federal Employee Education & Assistance (FEEA) Fund offers an annual scholarship competition just for civilian federal and postal employees, as well as their children and spouses. There are even job-specific scholarships for government and public service employees and their family members, such as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), firefighters, law enforcement officials, highway patrol officers, U.S. Postal Service workers, and more.
