Established following his death in April 2004 while he was serving with the 75^th Ranger Regiment in Afghanistan, the Pat Tillman Foundation invests in the future of military veterans and their spouses through academic scholarships at select universities.

Tillman, a starter for the National Football League’s (NFL) Arizona Cardinals, put his football career on hold to serve in the U.S. Army. The foundation awards the more than $1.3 million in scholarships to the best-poised leaders who show strength in character, academic excellence and incredible future potential.

The ���ϲ�����-Tillman Foundation partnership aligns with the University’s commitment to be “the best place for veterans,” enabling recipients to apply the lessons learned in life, at ���ϲ����� and in the military to impact America for years to come.

The next application cycle will open in February 2019.
