SOWF'S Scholarship program enabled Mark Wilson, Jr. to pursue success “Special Operations Warrior Foundation has allowed me to put my academics first without worry of paying the bills, and I’m truly grateful for that.

I did not have to work to support my tuition or living expenses during the school year, which allowed me to consistently put my best efforts in my schoolwork and have more time to attend office hours, study, and make sure I got enough sleep. I believe my grades, depth of learning, athletic performance, and stress levels were much better than the average student throughout college becaue of how much SOWF helped me along the way.

” – Mark Wilson, Jr. Mark Wilson, Jr. is the son of Navy SEAL Lt. Mark R. Wilson, who lost his life in 1995.

Through a scholarship from Special Operations Warrior Foundation, Mark graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Where Our Students Attend College Questions about Scholarships? at 813-805-9400 or send an email at scholarships@specialops.
