President

Mitzy D.

Bio Coming Soon

Vice President

Angie T.

“One of my favorite things about being an Army spouse is all the ways military families support one another. My family has benefited so greatly from our Army friends and family, and one of my favorite ways to “pay it forward” is supporting the scholarship fund.
It is so rewarding to get to see all of the amazing things military dependents do as they go out into the world, and supporting their education dreams to reach their goals is an honor.
I look forward to working with the rest of the team and having a great year of scholarship awards!

Event Coordinator

Rachel R.

“I am excited to serve as the Events Coordinator on the FHSF. As a student myself I know what a scholarship can mean for someone who needs the extra encouragement to achieve a goal. Being in the Hospitality field in my education, then receiving the opportunity to fill this position is a blessing. I have been on a board before as the Fort Riley Spouses Club Mother Flocker, and I was able to learn and grow so much while bringing smiles to the base during the Covid Lock down. I look forward to bringing smiles to Fort Hood with each event that I help this amazing organization host for our Army family throughout the 2025-2026 year.”

Treasurer

Carydaniel C.

I am honored to serve as the Treasurer for the Fort Hood Scholarship Fund, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the important mission of this organization. My primary objective is to meticulously account for every generous donation and ensure that each dollar is allocated effectively to support our mission.
The President has set an ambitious goal of limiting operational costs to less than 10% of total donations, with the aim of reducing this figure to 5% by next year. This means that 95% of our contributions will directly fund scholarships that support the educational
aspirations of military family members. I wholeheartedly embrace this challenge!
As a former resource manager and finance officer in the Army, I am fully committed to leveraging my expertise to empower military families through educational opportunities. I look forward to working diligently to help these individuals pursue their dreams and
make a meaningful impact in their lives.

Advisory Chair

Mel S.

I am thrilled to continue to serve the community and the Fort Hood Scholarship Fund. As Advisor, I hope to encourage, nurture, and help facilitate community relations. With fundraisers such as our Golf Scramble, I hope we are able to get the community excited for opportunities to volunteer and or sponsor with and within the Fund.

Sarah K

2021 Scholarship Recipient

I am so thankful to have received a scholarship from the FHMFMSF. The generosity of the organization and its donors will have a lasting impact on my education. I am currently studying at the University of Texas at Austin to obtain a bachelor's degree in mathematics. The scholarship I received motivates me to work hard in my classes and strive to make an impact on the community around me. I want to make the FHMFMSF proud! Thank you to all of the donors who have made my education more accessible.

Isabelle D.

Scholarship Recipient

I am sincerely honored to have been selected as an FHMFMSF scholarship recipient. Though this past year has been full of uncertainty and change, I am certain about this: receiving this scholarship has made me incredibly motivated and determined to finish my education. I hope that I can one day give back to my community, similarly to how this community in Fort Hood has given back to me. For the next three years, I will be pursuing a bachelor's degree in biological sciences to later continue my education at optometry school. Due to the generosity of this organization, my future looks bright. Thank you for enabling me to reach my fullest potential.

CDT Devon Smith

Class of ‘24, I3 Company

The process for the application was pretty easy and all of the people I talked to were willing to help and were really kind. I was really appreciative of the rapid responses and eagerness to assist. The generosity and timeliness of the Fort Hood Scholarship Fund were genuinely amazing.

Kyle A

Dallas - Fort Worth, TX

I graduated from Texas A&M in 2017 with a degree in Environmental Geosciences, where I followed my father's footsteps and joined the Corps of Cadets. I was also a member of the Aggie Band. The Fort Hood Scholarship helped me achieve my education goals without student loan debt. I got married in February 2020 to my beautiful wife Meagan, and we are very grateful for the position we are in thanks to the series of events that kicked off with this scholarship. We've lived and worked in DFW for about five years, and hope to someday give back to the military community that has given so much opportunity to us.
