Does VFW offer college or high school scholarships?

Answer 1

yes they do, local ones offer it to members, members children etc and national does as well. call them and ask, thats all.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Answer 3

Apparently, they do.
I went to www.vfw.org
I then clicked search and entered the word scholarships.
I came up with a number of hits including a news item about a student who won a scholarship.
I'd suggest you contact the VFW or a local post.
Good luck.
