YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP - VOICE OF DEMOCRACY

VFWVOD

2022-2023 Theme: "WHY IS THE VETERAN IMPORTANT?

Established in 1947, our Voice of Democracy audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves in regard to a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, nearly 40,000 9-12 grade students from across the country enter to win their share of $2.1 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program. The national first-place winner receives a $30,000 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-$16,000, and the first-place winner from each VFW Department (state) wins a minimum scholarship of $1,000 and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. Additionally, Post and Department winners also receive awards.

ENTRIES MUST BE TO THE POST BY OCTOBER 31, 2022
