Honor The Sacrifice.
Since 2008, No Greater Sacrifice has committed $30M+ to provide debt-free education for the children of America's bravest.
“Thanks to NGS, I'm able to pursue my education without the burden of debt. The people at NGS have been there for me every step of the way.”
Since 2008, NGS has stood with the families of the fallen and wounded.
A Scholar. A mentor. A debt-free degree.
We calculate exactly what's left after every other source of aid and fund it — from enrollment to graduation — so no Scholar carries debt because of a parent's sacrifice. Then we pair every Scholar with a dedicated mentor until the diploma is in their hands.
African and African-American Studies

Nursing
Western Carolina University · Class of 2021
Isabella Taft graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Western Carolina University in May 2021. She graduated with honors and accepted a position as an Intensive Care Nurse starting in July. She shared that completing nursing school during COVID was not easy, but in the same vein of resilience as so many No Greater Sacrifice scholars, Isabella thrived. Due to being in a rural area, most hospitals were not accepting students, so she had to drive further to complete her clinical hours. With the transition to online classes, she had to take her hotspot to a parkway and complete her classes outside.
