✨ HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY ✨

As we celebrate Independence Day, we reflect on the freedoms we cherish and the soldiers and families who protect them. At the Army Scholarship Foundation, we’re honored to support the children and spouses of U.S. Army soldiers through educational scholarships — turning sacrifice into opportunity.

Thank you for standing with us in this mission and for making a difference in the lives of military families.

The second quarter of 2025 was filled with meaningful moments, new partnerships, and student success stories — all made possible by your support.

Scroll down to read a few key highlights from April through June, and see how you’re helping us change lives one scholarship

at a time. 👇

Two-time ASF Johnny Mac Honorary Scholarship recipient Ella Jones recently graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in Computer Science and a minor in Data Science — finishing her final quarter with a 4.0 GPA!

She now begins her full-time role as an analyst at The Jordan Company. We’re so proud to have supported her journey and can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish next.

“I am incredibly honored to have received this award, which has meant a great deal to both me and my family.” - Ella Jones

Jeff Gault and Alicia Thompson represented ASF at the Battlefields to Boardrooms Veterans Forum at the National Medal of Honor Museum, where Alicia spoke on a panel about nonprofit fundraising strategies.



ASF was honored to receive a $5,000 grant from the Veterans United Foundation, an employee-funded organization committed to supporting military and veteran causes.

We are grateful for their belief in our mission to empower the educational dreams of Army families.

Alicia attended the Military Order of the World Wars Golf Challenge, supported by the Plano and Richardson Rotary Clubs. Proceeds supported youth leadership initiatives and nonprofit veteran organizations — including ASF.

Alicia represented ASF with a booth at the13th Annual 1LT Robert F. Welch III Run For Our Heroes in Wylie, TX. Proceeds from the event benefited military veterans, first responders, and their families. The organization was established by Rob's widow Becky to preserve his memory after he was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011. 

ASF participated together with the Association of the US Army in celebrating the 100th birthday of Medal of Honor Recipient Audie Murphy at the Audie Murphy museum in Greenville, Tx.

Rose Gault and Alicia were honored to attend the celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas.

They connected with Vietnam veteran and author Gene Pugh and heard inspiring remarks from Major General (Ret.) Viet Luong, whose stories reflected the courage, sacrifice, and service of generations of American soldiers.

Jeff joined the Audie Murphy North Texas Chapter of AUSA at Fort Worth City Hall to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday in a powerful community celebration.

With city leaders, veterans, and supporters in attendance, the event featured a formal proclamation and a ceremonial cake cutting — honoring the legacy, sacrifice, and strength of Army service past and present.

Thank You for Making It All Possible!

From every conversation to every dollar raised, your support is creating real, lasting impact. As we look ahead to the rest of 2025 — including our Fall Luncheon on October 30th — we are more motivated than ever to keep growing this mission with you.
