Hi! I'm exploring options for college scholarships and was wondering if there are any specifically for the grandchildren of Vietnam veterans. My grandfather served in Vietnam, and I'm curious if there are any resources available for us.
Absolutely, there are several scholarships aimed at providing financial aid to descendants of veterans. One such option is the "AMVETS National Scholarship Program," which awards scholarships to veterans, active military, and their immediate family members or grandchildren.
Another scholarship worth looking into is the "Army Scholarship Foundation." While it primarily supports children of active duty and retired soldiers, grandchildren are also eligible to apply.
The "Military Order of the Purple Heart Scholarship" might also apply to you if your grandfather was wounded in action and received a Purple Heart.
Remember to carefully read the eligibility criteria before applying, as some scholarships have additional requirements, such as GPA minimums or participation in certain activities.
Research is key when it comes to scholarships. Good luck with your search!
