The Tulsa-based Folds of Honor Foundation has announced more than 360 scholarships to the children and spouses of military members killed or disabled in action.

The scholarships, which total more than $750,000, can be used to attend two-year, four-year, post-college, or vocational schools. Unlike traditional scholarships, they can be held by the organization on behalf of young children until needed at the time of enrollment in a postsecondary school.

Golf course owner Dan Rooney, who served three combat tours in Iraq, established the foundation in 2007 after returning home and seeing the grief of families of fallen soldiers. To date, the foundation has awarded 550 scholarships. In the past two years, PGA Professionals has raised more than $3 million to help fund scholarships with its Patriot Golf Day event over Labor Day weekend.

"For the second year now, we're making dreams come true and we could not be happier to help honor our military families," said Rooney. "In so many cases, these scholarships are a lifeline to a better future — one of prosperity and happiness for entire families. We are very proud to have played an integral role in the future of the citizens of our nation."
