Representing Modern Military Families

Who We Are:

With more than 50,000 members and supporters across the country and around the world, the American Military Partner Association (AMPA) is the nation’s largest organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) military families and their allies.

Our Mission:

Connecting, supporting, honoring, and serving the partners, spouses, families, and allies of America’s LGBTQ service members and veterans – our “modern military families.”

Meet our winners of the 2018 AMPA Military Spouse Scholarship, presented by Hilton!

AMPA is committed to education, advocacy, and support for our modern military spouses and their families, and our scholarship is a key tool in our mission to support those who are often overlooked and under appreciated. These five incredible military spouses were selected by an impartial committee based on their commitment to LGBTQ equality and community service.
