KBR Establishes Honorary Scholarship to Support Army Families

KBR

The Army Scholarship Foundation announced today that KBR has established a scholarship to assist Army family members. This scholarship, to be known as the KBR Honorary Scholarship, will be awarded to the deserving son or daughter of a United States Army soldier or spouse of an active duty enlisted soldier. This scholarship will be awarded annually in perpetuity as a result of the generous donation and pledge of funding to the Army Scholarship Foundation by KBR. In presenting this award, Lieutenant General Joseph M. Cosumano, United States Army, Retired, and Senior Vice President of Operations, Maintenance and Logistics for KBR, emphasized the importance of corporate support for Army families. He said “our nation’s soldiers are defending our way of life, often under the most dangerous conditions to protect the rights and freedoms which all Americans enjoy. Through KBR’s support of this scholarship for Army family members, we are able in a small way to thank our soldiers for the many sacrifices they and their families make every day on behalf of our nation.”

The foundation is sustained by the generous donations of its supporters.
