THE TACAMO FOUNDATION
2026 Scholarships
The TACAMO Foundation is a charitable, non-profit corporation created by the TACAMO Community Veterans Association (TCVA) in November 2024. Our mission is to educate the nation’s public on the history of the Navy’s Strategic Deterrence Mission and the vital role the TACAMO Mission contributes to our country’s national security. The Foundation will provide support to the TCVA through educational opportunities, assist in public outreach programs, and provide scholarships to student connected to the TACAMO Community.
We are proud to recognize these exceptional students from the TACAMO community as recipients of this year’s scholarships. Their achievements reflect the strength and dedication of our mission.
These awards are made possible through the generosity of our donors and the ongoing commitment of The TACAMO Foundation to invest in the next generation. Thank you for helping us honor the past and support the future.
