A Tradition of Honor

A Tradition of Honor

Honor the legacy of Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner by providing scholarships to children of their fellow Sailors.

A Tradition of honor

When Jesse Brown fell during the Korean War, Tom Hudner and his shipmates took up a collection for Jesse’s daughter’s college fund. The Brown Hudner Navy Scholarship Foundation continues the tradition of honoring the qualified students of Navy Sailors by offering scholarship grants. If you’d like to express gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed for our nation, we invite you to support the Brown Hudner Navy Scholarship Foundation.
