VFW Scholarship Program

Essay and speech on gieven topic

Hi all,
I am reaching out to all high school students to let them know about the scholarship program that the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) have every year. If you are interested please feel free to contact me ph# 773-3317, email: vfw1929@comcast.net
VOICE OF DEMOCRACY
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, 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.
