Scholarship Description
The VFW is dedicated to promoting patriotism and investing in our future generation. Established in 1947, our Voice of Democracy audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves in regards to a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, students in grades 9-12 from across the country enter to win their share of more than $2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program.ADVERTISEMENT
The national first-place winner receives a 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-$16,000, and the first-place winner from each VFW Department (state) wins a minimum scholarship of $1,000. Want to apply? Read the rules and eligibility requirements, and download and complete the Voice of Democracy entry form as all student entries must be submitted to a sponsoring local VFW Post by the scholarship deadline.
