US Presidential Service Badge Foundation
About Us
A non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, The United States Presidential Service Badge Foundation is dedicated to offering a non-partisan look at the importance of service in our country and how those ideas move beyond any person or party. Find out how to “check your biases” at the door because we are all Americans first.
The USPSB Scholarship Fund
The scholarship fund is a primary vehicle for highlighting the importance of service. Families of those Presidential Service Badge recipients (and other military members) can apply for an academic scholarship (beginning in the 25-26 academic year). Based on their application, which includes an essay on service, a panel of educational and military leaders will select recipients for the award.
Who We Help
Our foundation is designed to provide assistance, through education and other means, to those Americans who are interested in pursuing a path of service to our nation.
How We Help
We help by raising awareness about the importance of service while highlighting those American service members (men and women) who put service above self as they attained the Presidential Service Badge.

What is the US Presidential Service Badge?
Since its inception 60 years ago, only a small fraction of those who have worked at the White House have been honored as recipients of the Presidential Service Badge. These recipients are considered the top 1% of the 1% of their respective branches of service. They are awarded the PSB for exemplary service to the office of the President. These recipients were “in the room” as history happened.
The History of the US Presidential Service Badge
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the White House Service Badge in 1960. Four years later, President Lyndon B Johnson retired that badge and issued a separate Presidential Service Badge to replace it (Executive Order 11174). It is issued to service members who serve as full-time military staff to the Office of the President. Such personnel are stationed exclusively at the White House. Recipients are the only ones allowed to wear the “Presidential Seal” or “Coat of Arms” on their military uniforms.
