In the United States, veterans fight to secure the values and liberties of the country.

Veterans deserve our immense support for their bravery, but it's clear we're not doing enough. A staggering 1.5 million veterans live in poverty, and many are homeless or experience severe mental health conditions.

Many dependents of veterans also bear this weight, often shouldering financial and caretaker responsibilities.

As one small act to work on this problem, the Veteran’s Scholarship exists to support the academic endeavors and interests of veterans or dependents of veterans. 

Applicants must write about a personal failure they have endured and what they did to overcome or learn from it. 

Bold.org will be awarding a scholarship each day in November to celebrate National Scholarship Month. Follow along on Bold.org's Instagram and TikTok for daily announcements of scholarships and winners!
