Bernard, the 11-year-old son of Chief Petty Officer and Mrs. Bernard Curtis Brown, was killed on September 11, 2001, when the hijacked airliner on which he was a passenger, crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. At the time, he was on his way to California to represent his school at a National Geographic event. The Military Child Education Coalition officers and directors feel, and Bernards family agrees, that this is a fitting way to honor Bernards memory. The scholarship gives military-connected children the opportunity to have an extraordinary experience which brings together the worlds of service, science, and learning.
