Our Mission & Vision

More than just commissioning.

Mission

Vision

First and foremost, this is about Navy families!

Deployments are hard and the entire family bears a burden when a mom or dad is away for months at a time. In general, over the last three years, Sailors aboard ships have spent 25-35% of their time underway. Routine work expectations often include significant time spent underway in addition to major deployments.

The Foundation scholarship will support immediate family members of the crew as one mechanism for providing greater education opportunities.
The scholarship will be granted annually based on the recommendation of the Commanding Officer.
