Night Stalker Foundation

The Night Stalker Foundation was founded in October 2009 as a 501c3.  Rated 4 Stars by Charity Navigator, the Night Stalker Foundation is committed to supporting 160th SOAR(A) Families and Unit Members through

  • Family Resiliency Programs (SOAR Family Collaborative)

  • College Scholarships

  • Support for our Families of the Fallen

  • Preserve the legacy of the 160th SOAR(A)  

The 160th was formed in response to our country’s need for a unique night-flying aviation rotary wing capability. After failing to rescue the hostages in Iran, the U.S. Army formed the 160th with the motto of “Never Again.” From its inception in 1981, Night Stalkers have fought and bled in every combat action this nation has embarked upon. This relatively small unit has 104 names on its Memorial Wall, demonstrating the resolve of these brave men, women and Families. We will ensure that the unit’s motto of “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit” continues as we care for those who serve this storied organization. Partner with us and enable these great Warriors and Families.

The Scowcroft Scholarship

The Night Stalker Foundation is honored to once again work with the Special Operations Fund to be able to provide our students with the opportunity to be awarded the 2025 Scowcroft  scholarship. The Scowcroft Scholarship is named after Lieutenant General Brent Scowcroft, who was an American patriot and public servant of the highest order with an extraordinary military and government service career spanning over 60 years.

Eligible applicants for the Scowcroft Scholarship must be children of current or veteran members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regt. (Airborne).

The scholarship winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship each year for four years. This scholarship will be awarded to a graduating high school senior entering their first year of college.

A candidate must have a minimum cumulative 3.5 GPA. The candidate is expected to have held positions of major responsibility and leadership in extracurricular activities, sports, service organizations, and/or employment. Two letters of recommendation and a 500-word essay on a pre-selected topic are required.

The initial Scowcroft Scholarship payment will be disbursed by the Special Operations Fund to the college or university after appropriate documentation of authorized educational costs. The scholarship will continue for the next three years upon submission of a copy of the official transcript showing a minimum 3.0 GPA. The Scowcroft Scholarship award can be revoked at any time if the recipient fails to advance academically.

Your application must be sent to the Night Stalker Foundation at nsf.scholarship160@gmail.com.  Your application must be received NLT 12 May 2025. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
