KOSC Scholarship Program

The purpose of the KOSC Scholarship Program is to acknowledge outstanding graduating high school seniors and dependent spouses of ANY RANK within the Kadena AB community, by offering financial assistance towards education in any field of their choice.

In previous years, the KOSC has been honored to provide numerous merit based scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $3,500.

In 2008 alone, the KOSC assisted military dependents further their education by awarding 27 scholarships totaling $56,500.
