Benefits of Joining?
Formed in 1960, WMA is the only association of women
Marines. It is a nonprofit, nonpolitical organization. New members receive a quartly magazine Nouncements and
a biennial Resource Manual and Directory of members.
The WMA Scholarship Committee administers a program of grants each year for elgible WMA sponsored applicants.
College schholarships are awarded annually to deserving persons who meet eligibility requirments.
The best reason to become a WMA and Texas-2 member is the continued comaraderie of women Marine

"Holding the title Marine is the common thread that runs through us all. It intertwines through the
years, but always comes full circle. This organization makes me feel bigger than myself and it is a wonderful feeling
to fit in. WMA offers the support we need as females in the Marine Corps."
