U.S. military veteran

Monti E. Hall was a proud veteran, compassionate social worker, and inspiring example of lifelong learning. 

Monti returned to school later in life, determined to earn his degree even while battling cancer. He graduated with strength, purpose, and pride—reminding all who knew him that it’s never too late to grow, learn, and serve. Monti taught others that their stories matter and that all things are possible through determination.

This scholarship is rooted in Monti E. Hall’s spirit, aiming to support veterans who are returning to school and pursuing their own educational journey.

Any U.S. military veteran who has been honorably discharged and is planning to enroll in an accredited college, university, or vocational program may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Applicants should demonstrate resilience, a commitment to service, and a strong sense of purpose—values that Monti embodied throughout his life. 

To apply, tell us how your military experience has impacted your decision to return to school and how you plan to use your education to make a difference in your community.
