Federal Employee Education & Assistance (FEEA)
Federal Employee Education & Assistance (FEEA) has awarded over $2.75 million in college scholarships exclusively to federal and postal employees and their family members.
The FEEA scholarship program is sponsored in part by the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association, which provides at least one special distinction scholarship in each of FEEA's 26 regions. Other corporate sponsors include FPMI and the publisher of Federal Personnel Digest. The majority of the funding for this program, however, comes from federal employee contributions to FEEA Pledge #1234 during the CFC. The amount of money donated in each region directly determines how much is available for scholarships in that area.
Applications
for the 2007-08 programs will be available in January 2007. Find out
more information regarding the FEEA program.
