SAN DIEGO, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For the ninth consecutive year, Ashford University is offering five Homefront Heroes scholarships to military spouses in San Diego County. Recipients can use the full-tuition scholarship for either an associate's or bachelor's degree at Ashford University.

Visit AshfordHomefrontHeroes.com to apply.

"We are all indebted to the members of our military community, including military spouses, for the sacrifices they make each day to protect our way of life and to preserve our freedom," said Dr. Craig Swenson, president and CEO of Ashford University. "Spouses of service members often forgo their own education to support the mission. The Ashford Homefront Heroes scholarship recognizes this need and provides an avenue for the wives or husbands of service members to pursue their college degrees online."

Military spouses interested in applying for this scholarship should submit two short essays about their education and career goals. Essays will be accepted between September 10 and November 11, 2018.
