Freedom Alliance Provides Tuition Assistance to Dependents
 of Troops Killed or Permanently Disabled in the Line of Duty

Dulles, Virginia – The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund honors the bravery and dedication of Americans in our armed forces who have sacrificed life or limb in the defense of our country by providing college scholarships to their children. Freedom Alliance is now accepting applications for the 2007-2008 academic year.

“We can never fully give back to our brave service members what they have sacrificed for us and the cause of freedom," said Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon, "but what we can do is show our appreciation by helping their children pay for college.”

 The application deadline for the 2007-2008 academic year has been extended to August 10, 2007. Freedom Alliance is accepting applications from dependent children of U.S. military personnel who have been killed or permanently disabled (100% VA rating) in the line of duty during the War on Terror (Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines, etc.) and other theatres of operation. Students must be enrolled or accepted at an accredited college, university or vocational school.

 Over the years, the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund has provided hundreds of college scholarships to students whose parents have been killed or permanently disabled in such conflicts as the Persian Gulf War, the liberation of Grenada, and the 1983 terrorist attack on the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut. More recently, Freedom Alliance provided scholarship assistance to the dependent children of military personnel who were killed in the October 2000 terrorist attack on the USS Cole and in the September 11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Since its inception, Freedom Alliance has provided more than $1,000,000 in college scholarships to the sons and daughters of American heroes.  

 Radio and television personality Sean Hannity will host five “Hannity Freedom Concerts” in five cities this summer to benefit the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. The Freedom Concerts will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on July 10; San Diego, California on July 26; Cincinnati, Ohio on August 9; Dallas, Texas on August 14, and Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey on September 11.
