Applications are open to dependents whose sponsors are active-duty, retired, or deceased members of the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, or other sister services. Active-duty sponsors must be currently assigned to a Marine Corps unit or Marine Corps base tenant organization located within a 50-mile radius of Camp Pendleton. If the applicant’s sponsor is a retiree, the retiree must have been honorably retired from the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps by the time the scholarship application is submitted. Individuals whose United States Navy or United States Marine Corps sponsor is deceased may also apply. For all applicants—regardless of whether the sponsor is active-duty, retired, or deceased—both the sponsor (if living) and the applicant must reside within a 50-mile radius of Camp Pendleton.
Community Enrichment Grants
In 2026, the MSACP awarded $15,000 in grants to 11 non-profit organizations that support our military service members and families here at Camp Pendleton.

The MSACP raises charitable funds through various fundraising events throughout the year. Grants are awarded in May of each year to non-profit organizations that directly benefit the military community of Camp Pendleton.
Organizations must demonstrate a non-discrimination policy regarding staff, employment, governing board, and service delivery on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or national origin.
