“We’re thrilled to welcome these 60 veterans and military spouses as part of our global Tillman Scholar community,” said Dan Futrell, CEO and 2011 Tillman Scholar. “We believe that veterans and military spouses — and especially our Tillman Scholars — are uniquely positioned to fill the leadership gap that our society faces. It’s our honor to support them in making an impact as they grow as leaders and enter their next chapter.”

“Each year, it’s so exciting to get to know a new class of Tillman Scholars and help them realize their potential for service and impact,” said Marie Tillman, Board Chair and Co-Founder of PTF. “It means so much to see them continue to carry Pat’s legacy and values forward, in fields as diverse as medicine, music, architecture, and geoscience.”
