The only thing I'm aware of are the children of Medal of Honor winners get preference into the military academies. Children of retired military personnel can apply to the military academies without getting a letter from someone in Congress or the President or Vice-President. I believe that there is also some scholarship opportunities for the children of military personnel killed on active duty.

Courtney,
Try contacting the Veteran's Administration. I don't know if a scholarship is available, but I believe that the VA will give you a monthly stipend to help defray your college costs.
My daughter's father was a veteran who became disabled in Vietnam, and my daughter received $400 a month from the VA for four years, the entire time she attended college. I don't know, however, if that amount was due to the fact that he was disabled or not: yours might be less, but I'm almost sure that some funds would be available to you. Good luck!

There is probably something available through the Fleet Reserve Association or maybe The Navy League.

Navy League Foundation's Scholarship Programs

All 2007 Scholarships have been awarded and awardees have been notified.

One of the most rewarding opportunities to demonstrate your appreciation for the men and women of the American sea services is to support The Navy League Foundation’s scholarship programs. Thanks to the generosity of donors and members from around the world, the Navy League Foundation is able to provide increasing financial assistance to the dependents and direct descendants of sea service personnel for college and university expenses.

Today, the Navy League Foundation has a total of 22 endowed, four-year $10,000 scholarships. The Foundation also awards several one-year scholarships on behalf of other military and civilian foundations, and Navy League Councils across the United States provide additional scholarships to students and Sea Cadets in their cities and regions.

I am not sure.. your best bet would be to call your local VA office and ask. I know that a few children are eligible but I think it's for stuff like medal of honor recipients and for those who are disabled over a certain percentage.. I believe it's 30%

There are no government scholarships available to veterans children.

Now there might be private scholorships that were endowed, for the children of Navy veterans, but you would have to use a scholorship research company to find them.

Also, Some military units have Associations, and those associations sometimes offer scholarships to the children of members.

IE: My father spent 19 out of 30 years in the 101st Airborne Division, he is a member of the 101st Airborne association.

They offer college scholoarships to the children of members.

So, you need to find out what ships your father served on, and see if they have an association, and then if that association offers scholarships.
