2026 Night Stalker Foundation Scholarship Applications are OPEN
The Night Stalker Foundation (NSF) is honored to continue our commitment to supporting the educational goals of Night Stalker families through the 2026 Night Stalker Scholarship Program. Each year, this program provides eligible applicants with meaningful financial assistance as they pursue higher education at accredited institutions.
The NSF awards scholarships without regard to race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, physical ability, sexual orientation, rank, or sponsor’s position. Our mission is to support all Night Stalker families with fairness, integrity, and dedication.
Honoring Our Fallen Night Stalkers, In 2018, the NSF partnered with the Families of the Fallen to begin naming scholarships in memory of Night Stalkers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. These Memorial Named Scholarships ensure that the legacy of each fallen hero lives on through educational opportunities granted to future generations.
The names of the scholarships are selected at random, and this year, we are proud to award over 70 scholarships named in honor of our fallen Night Stalkers. Our long-term goal is for every fallen Night Stalker to have a scholarship named in their honor in perpetuity, preserving their legacy and service for generations to come.
Recognition at the Families of the Fallen Dinner, Recipients of these Memorial Named Scholarships will be honored during the annual Families of the Fallen Dinner, a cherished event that brings together families, supporters, and members of the Night Stalker community. This event occurs each year during WONSA and scholarship recipients invited to attend will receive a formal invitation in April.
