Army Emergency Relief’s MG James Ursano
Scholarship Program

Children of Active, Retired and Deceased
Soldiers
Army Emergency Relief (AER) is a private
non-profit organization with the primary
mission of providing financial assistance to
Soldiers and their dependents in time of
valid emergency need. The MG James Ursano
Scholarship Program was established in 1976
as a secondary mission to help Army Families
with undergraduate college expenses for
their dependent children. The MG James
Ursano Scholarship Program funds are limited
