The MSLF Mission


The Massachusetts Soldiers Legacy Fund (MSLF) was founded in 2004 with a simple goal: to provide educational assistance grants to the children of Massachusetts Servicemembers who died in the War Against Terrorism.   We are proud to report that we are accomplishing our founding objective thanks to the support of individuals and organizations throughout the United States.

The MSLF has raised over $4.5 Million and will continue to enhance the educational pursuits of its 52 families and 86 children. If an individual is a child of a Servicemember, whose service is credited to Massachusetts and who gave their life in support to the Global War on Terror, he/she qualifies.

Currently, our children are attending a number of schools such as the University of Texas, Stonehill College and Boston University.  They are pursuing careers in engineering, education and criminal justice.  We are grateful for the support of our donors and together will work to continue to support the educational goals of our families.
