Where Your Donations Go
Our Impact
Scholarships, families supported, and a legacy of love. Here is what Athena's Army has accomplished.
The Scholarship
You Can Be Anything Scholarship
Inside the package delivered on November 30, 2022 was a box of "You Can Be Anything" Barbie dolls, Athena's Christmas present. That sentiment lives on in the form of an annual scholarship awarded to graduating students from Paradise High School (TX) and Comanche High School (OK).
What makes this scholarship truly special is its spirit: every single graduating student is automatically entered into the drawing. There is no application process. There is no essay to write. The scholarship is meant to reflect Athena's belief that every child deserves a chance, not just those who can best articulate their dreams on paper.
The scholarship supports recipients in pursuing whatever comes next in their lives, whether that is college, trade school, or the first step in a career they have always dreamed of.
