			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Grateful Nation</strong> Montana was formed for the specific purpose of facilitating college educations for the children of soldiers killed while on active duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Working with a combination of public and private resources, <strong>Grateful Nation</strong> links eligible students with the financial resources and non-monetary support they will need to have a successful college experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gratefulnationmontana.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=general&amp;pp_image=iStock_000000473703XSmall.jpg" title="Soldier Dad"><img src="http://www.gratefulnationmontana.com/wp-content/photos/thumb_iStock_000000473703XSmall.jpg" class="alignleft" alt="Soldier Dad" width="100" height="100" /></a><strong>Grateful Nation </strong>currently focuses solely on providing these resources and support to Montana military families. To date, 23 soldiers from Montana have been killed in these conflicts, leaving a total of 17 children behind, ranging in age from 3 months to 22 years old.</p>
<p>We target both the financial and educational needs of these children. Even with sufficient financial resources in place, the road to a successful college education may not be assured for these students, who face many hurdles growing up without a parent. Participating colleges and universities provide student tutoring and mentoring to eligible students during their high school years so that these students are academically and emotionally prepared to succeed in college.</p>
