Each year, the Offutt Enlisted Spouses Club (OESC) awards college scholarships to graduating seniors and military spouses who are dependents of active duty, retired, or deceased military personnel.

Eligible applicants can be affiliated with any military rank or branch but must reside in one of the following counties:

•Nebraska: Cass, Sarpy, or Douglas
•Iowa: Mills or Pottawattamie

Applicants do not need to be involved with OESC to apply.

Selection Process

Scholarship recipients are chosen based on:
•Current academic achievement
•An essay explaining their educational goals and how further education will benefit them personally.

The OESC Scholarship Committee Selection Panel determines the award recipients. This panel, led by Scholarship Chair Gina Crudden, may include representatives from the community, schools, businesses, and enlisted personnel. The chair serves as a non-voting member.

A Tradition of Giving

Since 1972, OESC has proudly supported military families through our scholarship program. In recent years, we awarded $3,000 in scholarships in 2023 and 2024, and $6,000 in 2025.

Questions should be directed to Scholarship Chair Gina Crudden at OffuttEnlistedSpousesClub@gmail.com.
