MWSF/UCF Scholarship Recipients’ Visit Florida

The wounded warriors attending University of Central Florida (UCF) on scholarship got to experience the Florida area first hand in many different settings in the course of a few short days. Derek Willard, the newest scholastic recipient arrived in Orlando on June 1st and joined Ryan and Britti Foster (previous scholarship recipients) in a week of fun and well deserved relaxation. Derek arrived to scout the area in expectation of his wife April and their 4 children ages 6, 4, 2, and 4 months. He was able to see where he will be living starting in September while on a full 4 year scholarship at UCF. The partnership MWSF grant includes a housing stipend at the designate apts., books, and 100% tuition for a 4 year degree and up to a Doctorate should they wish to pursue continued education. As for the trip sightseeing enjoy the photos of the wounded warriors as they experience Tampa Rays MLB, the Daytona 500racetack and Daytona Beach, and the fishing trip at the Everglades where Derek hooks an alligator with Ryan’s new rod and reel!! All in all Florida and UCF is a great place to be. If you are interested in becoming the newest scholarship recipient click here and send us a message so we can mail you an application packet.
