Because rising tides lift all ships
MilMoneyCon exists to bring military-connected financial professionals together to grow, connect, and move their careers forward. We believe in camaraderie, shared purpose, and lifting one another up.
Each year, members of our community and mission-aligned partners invest in scholarships to help expand access to the full MilMoneyCon experience. These scholarships remove barriers, create opportunities, and support professionals who are building meaningful careers in financial services while navigating the realities of military life.
Scholarships are not just financial assistance. They’re a reflection of who we are as a community. When one of us rises, we all rise.

Full participation changes the experience
Thanks to the generous support of PIM Tax Services LLC, MilMoneyCon26 will award 10 Host Hotel Participation Scholarships, each covering two nights at The DeSoto, our official conference hotel.
Founded by Paul D. Allen, CFP®, MQFP®, EA, a U.S. Navy veteran, PIM Tax Services is a veteran-owned tax planning and preparation firm based in Virginia Beach. Guided by the concept of a Plan of Intended Movement, PIM helps military families and individuals move confidently toward their financial goals through thoughtful tax planning and transparent, high-quality service.
In support of expanding access to the full MilMoneyCon experience, PIM is sponsoring 10 Host Hotel Participation Scholarships.
These scholarships are intended to support attendees who would otherwise shorten their stay, stay off-site, or face financial constraints in booking at the host hotel.
Staying at The DeSoto means being in the middle of conversations, spontaneous connections, early-morning coffee meetups, and late-evening idea exchanges that make MilMoneyCon different. This scholarship helps ensure more attendees can fully engage in the experience.
Who It’s For:
Attendees who have already purchased a ticket and for whom lodging support would meaningfully impact their ability to stay at the host hotel.
