A Soldier's Child Scholarship Program



ASC has a new scholarship program for the children they serve, now over 5000 nationwide. 
The program is the Xavier Martin "Fill In The Gap" Memorial Scholarship Fund.  

US Navy Sailor Xavier Martin died at sea, on board the USS Fitzgerald DDG-62 in 2017 when it collided with another ship in the middle of the night.

Xavier's mother was present to award the very first scholarships.  All of the honorees were able to place a personalized rock in ASC's "Legacy Memorial Garden."
