WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company and Student Veterans of America today awarded three $10,000 scholarships to military veterans studying cybersecurity and engineering, and also opened applications for a new scholarship being offered to Army student veterans.
The Raytheon/SVA scholarship, now in its second year, marks the organizations' shared mission to help veterans succeed in civilian life through the study of science, technology, engineering and math. The new scholarship, called the Raytheon Patriot scholarship, will provide $10,000 to two Army student veterans pursuing graduate or undergraduate degrees at accredited universities, and who demonstrate leadership in their local communities.

"These scholarships will help them build upon the expertise and training they received while serving their country and pursue careers that are successful and rewarding."
