Special Operations Warrior Foundation pledges to ensure full college funding to every surviving child of a special operator who loses their life in the line of duty.
We proactively reach out to every eligible family. They do not need to apply for our help.
Additionally, SOWF realizes that one of the most difficult challenges that special operations families may face is the immediate financial burden when their loved ones are hospitalized with severe combat wounds or injuries. We fulfill this need by immediately providing a check to the service member (or his/her designated recipient) so the family and loved ones can be at their bedside.
After we reach out to a fallen special operations service member’s family, we stay in touch through the entire educational process.
Our counselors work with the families to ensure in-home tutoring is available from kindergarten through college graduation. We contact the high school students to customize a personal plan for their studies at a university, vocational or technical school. We help prepare the students for SAT/ACT examinations and college applications.

WOUNDED SOF SUPPORT
Special Operators are deployed in over 80 countries every day. When a Special Operator is wounded and hospitalized, SOWF immediately sends a check to the service member (or his/her designated recipient) so the family and loved ones can be at their bedside.
These funds are used to reduce the burden of unexpected expenses such as airfare, child care, pet care, rental cars, etc.
