The Scholarships for Military Children Program began in 2000 to award scholarships to graduating high school seniors or college-enrolled students.
The program is open to qualified sons and daughters of members of the U.S. Armed Services including active duty, retirees, guard/reserves, as well as children of deceased military personnel.
Applications are turned in through commissaries.
Applicants for the 2013 program were required to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade-point average, participate in voluntary school and community activities, demonstrate leadership qualities and write an essay discussing  how one of the first ladies (since 1933) has made an impact on a social issue in the United States.
Manufacturers and organizations that do business with the commissary system funded the scholarships.
All three were made possible by Campbell Soup Company.
