Scholarships

We are excited to offer two scholarship opportunities for 2023 Battlemind to Home Summit attendees! Learn more about them below. Applications will open in late July. 

Colonel Roger Peterman Scholarship

For the sixth year, we are giving one scholarship in honor of Colonel Roger Peterman. He was on the planning committee of Battlemind from its inaugural year until his retirement in 2017. Col. Peterman served in the Indiana National Guard for more than 33 years. He continued to give back to his state by serving on the boards of several organizations and through his position as a transition assistance advisor. The Peterman scholarship will be given to a first-time Battlemind attendee who is actively involved in serving the military and veteran population in their communities. Service members, veterans, and their families will be given preference for this scholarship.

Martina Sternberg Community Mobilization Scholarship 

For the fifth year, we will be honoring Martina Sternberg with Community Mobilization Scholarships. Martina was an Air Force veteran and an integral part of building the Battlemind to Home Summit into the collaborative success it is today. During Martina’s time at MFRI, she led the community mobilization and Stand Down efforts. These scholarships will be given to a person who is actively involved in their local community mobilization meetings and activities within that group.
