    About this scholarship

    This program provides financial assistance to veteran students, their spouses, and their dependents enrolled at the college. It operates on a priority system that favors veterans with active VA educational benefits, followed by those whose benefits have expired, and then spouses and dependents. Applicants must maintain a satisfactory grade point average and demonstrate financial need. The funding helps cover required program supplies, which students must purchase first and then submit receipts to the foundation office for reimbursement. Priority is also given to students who are on track toward graduation.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page.

Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
