Fry Scholarship Enhancement Act of 2023

The Fry Scholarship Enhancement Act of 2023 expands eligibility for the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship, which provides education benefits to dependents of service members. It adds new eligibility for dependents if a veteran dies from a service-connected disability within 120 days after discharge (with an honorable discharge), not just if they died "in line of duty." The changes apply to deaths occurring before, on, or after the bill's enactment date and cover education benefits starting August 1, 2024. This directly affects dependents of veterans who meet the new death criteria related to service-connected disabilities.
