NGS Story 2026
Honor Their Future.
Filmed at NGS BootCamp in June 2026: NGS families and NGS Board Directors, together as Scholars begin the road to a debt-free degree.
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.
