Sentinels of Freedom Foundation Provides Vital Services to Severely Wounded Veterans On Saturday, March 28th the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation, will be holding its annual Dinner Gala at Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon. The Guest Speaker will be Sentinel and recent Medal of Honor Recipient, Corporal Kyle Carpentar, United States Marine Corps. Organizers say that they are excited and grateful for the opportunity “to share the story of this brave and gracious young Veteran with our supporters”. This event is one of the ways the group can raise funds to carry out their mission. For those who are not yet familiar with the remarkable work done by the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation (SOF), their program offers comprehensive financial, mentoring and networking
assistance to severely wounded or disabled* post 9/11 veterans while they attend college or vocational training (*defined as 60% or greater VA disability rating). Now a national nonprofit with volunteer teams across the country, SOF has helped ease the transition from military service to campus classroom for almost 200 men and women. Scholarships may include housing support, one-on-one mentoring based o n c a re e r i n t e re s t s, a n d employment networking in the student veteran’s last year of school. Each SOF scholarship is customized according to the needs and goals of the Sentinel, making this a very personal, prolonged, and proactive scholarship opportunity for
