APPLY: “Operation: Back of the Net” to grant military scholarship

Through a special partnership with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and Major League Soccer, service members, veterans and military spouses are invited to apply for a full-tuition scholarship designed to assist in the completion of higher education.

Operation Back of the Net is an annual program hosted MLS, SNHU and the United Service Organizations (USO). From July 3-7, every MLS goal scored in the U.S. will generate a $2,000 donation from SNHU to the USO. The funds donated aim to assist transitioning service members and their families with a successful transition back to civilian life. That transition often includes achieving their educational goals.
