The foundation provides holistic care for its scholars, which encompasses educational benefits, internship opportunities, and job placements.
The success of Children of Fallen Patriots can be told by countless surviving scholars, including Johannah Bordelon, Daughter of fallen U.S. Army First Sergeant Michael Joseph Bordelon.“My entire life, I wanted to make my Dad proud and take advantage of the opportunities he has given me through his sacrifice. The moment I contacted Fallen Patriots, they assisted with everything I needed. Knowing that I have extra help takes the burden of student loans off my shoulders. I am forever thankful.” – Johannah Bordelon, University of California at Berkeley, ’22.
