Disabled Veterans National Foundation announces the application period for DVNF Scholarships starting November 1, 2011 and ending February 1, 2012.
Selections of those awarded scholarships will be made in March and the financial awards will be granted the week of April 2nd.
In all, DVNF will award 50 scholarships of $1,000 each to disabled veterans to help them continue their education outside the military.
The award funds will be paid directly to the school to enable the veteran to attend an accredited college, university or trade school.
"We appreciate our donors giving us the ability to be able to help these veterans continue their education outside of their military service," said Precilla Wilkewitz, President of DVNF.
"Each year, it is inspiring to see so many veterans continuing their education and we are thankful that we can give them the financial support to complete their education and improve their lives."
Applicants must fill out the DVNF Scholarship Application Form, provide their Veterans DD-214 certified by their State, complete a 3-4 minute video or essay of 500-750 words and submit one letter of recommendation from someone other than a relative. The DVNF scholarships will be mailed by the end of May.
"This Disabled Veterans National Foundation 2012-2013 Scholarship Program is one we are exceptionally proud of and hope to grow in the future," said Wilkewitz.
"Education is so important for our veterans to be able to improve their lives and occupations after military service. We also understand that not all veterans are entitled to one hundred percent of GI Bill benefits so we aim to try to make sure the veterans we help with these scholarships truly are in need of the assistance."
Award funds will be paid directly to the school to enable the veteran to attend an accredited college, university or trade school. Visit the DVNF website for more information on the nature of these scholarships and the application process.
