The Board of Education is now accepting applications for the 2026 Military Service Award in honor of Candace C.W. Antwine, an initiative designed to provide assistance to Anne Arundel County Public Schools students who enlist in the military after graduation.
The monetary awards are given each spring in honor of Ms. Antwine, a Navy veteran who served on the Board of Education from 2018 until her death in 2021, to AACPS students who have made a similar commitment by enlisting to serve in the United States military upon graduation. They assist awardees with initial expenses related to enlisting, including uniforms and basic training supplies, and aim to remove financial barriers to military service.
Applications for this year’s award can be found online at www.aacps.org/serviceaward. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on April 17, 202
