Hello Zachary,
That is a good question and I think it depends on what you mean by a descendant. If your father or mother was in the military service then you could qualify for several programs. If it was a grand parent then you could try and apply for an AMVETS scholarship as they can accept applications from grandchildren. Typically, unless the family member was a parent there aren't too many options. It's also worth noting that you could take a look into your states VA program and see if they offer any scholarships on a state level.
Hope this helps,
Zachary
