Cordova’s Erin Frohnapfel, daughter of Chief Petty Officer Mark Frohnapfel, was again awarded a Coast Guard Foundation Scholarship to pursue her goal of higher education at Gonzaga University.
Frohnapfel was also awarded a scholarship in 2017.
The Coast Guard Foundation Scholarships benefit the children of enlisted men and women who are serving or have served in the U.S. Coast Guard, whether active duty, reserve, retired or deceased.
The Coast Guard Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to the education and welfare of all Coast Guard members and their families, awarded 177 new scholarships in 2018.
Combined with two Fallen Heroes Scholars and three multi-year award recipients, the Foundation will assist 182 students with $500,000 dollars in support this year.
In the 28 years of this program, the Coast Guard Foundation has paid more than $5.1 million to more than 960 college-aged young adults to help the families of Coast Guard members achieve their goals of higher education.
