Jimmy Rogers Military Spouse Scholarship
Helping the spouse of an active-duty service member get an education. That education is meant to set the family up for a stronger future together.
Why Jimmy started it
Jimmy Rogers on military spouses earning a degree, a certification, or a trade, and the awards given at the Boots and Suits Gala.
An education for the spouse who serves at home
The Jimmy Rogers Military Spouse Scholarship is designed to help the spouse of an active-duty man or woman gain their education. Military life moves. Orders change. A degree, a certification, or a trade skill is something the family can take with them.
Awards have gone up to $10,000. That money is for tuition, books, and supplies. Degree programs, community college, certifications, and trade schools all qualify. Kylie Gonzales, pictured here with a $7,300 award in 2022, is one of the spouses this program was built for.
Jimmy Rogers put it plainly: “Spouses serve alongside our heroes, and I believe they deserve an opportunity to earn their education, or a skill set so they can better serve their family.” The first cycle asked applicants to be the spouse of an active-duty service member ranked E-6 or below, enlisted in Texas. Today the scholarship is open to spouses of active-duty service members.
What the award makes possible
A handshake at commencement. A framed diploma in Silsbee, Texas. The scholarship is not a trophy. It is tuition, books, and a next chapter the family can keep.
What the scholarship supports
Practical costs. A stronger family future. That is the whole design.
Books and supplies
The costs that sit beside tuition: books, materials, and program fees that otherwise come out of a military family’s budget.
Trade and certification
Vocational programs and certifications that translate into work anywhere the next set of orders leads.
Invest in a military spouse
A gift now is what funds the next award for tuition, books, and supplies.
