At ADA University, we recognize the sacrifice of those men and women in uniform who have fought for the independence and territorial integrity of their country, and those who keep doing so. A generation of them have made legendary and unprecedented sacrifices. The grandness of any nation is measured with how they honor their fallen men and women, rally round their flag and continue serving the cause for which those have fallen in war.
While there are many ways to honor our country’s heroes, ADA University has chosen to stand at the intersection of real need and lasting impact. Education has such a lasting impact. Education is a chance to stand up, to keep going and to succeed in life. Those heroes of our nation have already made a sacrifice. We want to ensure educating their children, siblings and spouses does not become an additional sacrifice for these men and women, who have already sacrificed so much in service to our country.
At ADA University, we honor our war heroes by educating their children, siblings, and spouses. We also honor those men and women in uniform who serve this country in its armed services. The purpose of the Heroes Tribute Scholarship is to provide access to affordable education to children, siblings, and spouses of war heroes, also men and women in uniform. We want to make sure every loved one of a war hero and every soldier and officer of our armed services can attend ADA University and receive a quality education. While doing so, we also want to transform this university into a community, where a sense of citizenship and social responsibility is further upheld and endorsed.
