Welcome to Operation Opportunity
Operation Opportunity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to ensuring educational opportunity for veterans and children of fallen service members.
When our nation’s service members make the ultimate sacrifice, we have the responsibility to make sure that their children are not left behind. Amidst the grief and stress from losing a parent in combat, the college application process can seem overwhelming. Operation Opportunity’s Gold Star Scholars Project seeks to ensure that these students have the greatest possible opportunity to pursue their dreams.
Returning veterans are often faced with the daunting reality that they are unprepared for life outside of the military. Navigating a complex range of college applications and programs of study can be difficult and confusing, and once enrolled, adjusting to an unfamiliar and fundamentally different social environment at college is an enormous challenge. The Warrior-Scholar Project seeks to help veterans gain admission into the college of their choice and then prepare them to thrive in their new environments.
