There are some exciting scholarship opportunities coming up!

I. Voice of Democracy The 2022-23 theme is: "Why is the Veteran Important?"

    and patriotic-themed recorded essay.
    Each year, nearly 25,000 high school students from across the country enter to win their
    share of more than $2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through
    the program.
    The national first place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the
    recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. A complete list of
    other national scholarships ranges from $1,000-$21,000, and the first-place winner from
    each VFW Department (state) wins at least a scholarship of $1,000.
