First Command Educational Foundation's mission is to educate those who serve. We are committed to ensuring that our active duty and veteran service members, and others, receive financial readiness education. Our programs offer valuable and relevant material on numerous topics, regardless of career or life stage. Our programs are dedicated to improving financial readiness for all. Being financially ready gives people the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed, intelligent financial decisions, alleviating stress and uncertainty.
FCEF is committed to equipping individuals, at all stages of life, to make positive financial decisions that promote their long-term financial stability and financial well-being. Our proven online, virtual, and in-person presentations and seminars help combat financial insecurity amongst servicemembers, veterans, federal civilian employees, and their families. At the same time, our services extend to organizations that share the values and aspirations of our core constituents including community organizations, high school students, and economically at-risk populations. Our curriculum can be tailored to meet the needs and goals of our partner organization.
Our scholarship programs broaden education opportunities for hard-working students seeking college or trade school degrees. We are proud to have awarded an annual average of $130,000 since 1983. We partner with community organizations such as military units, scouting organizations, Rotary Clubs, and public universities to provide critical financial scholarships to students pursuing college and/or trade school degree programs.
We do this through the dedicated support of our volunteer presenters and generous contributions from our corporate and individual donors.
