Veteran College Grants

As a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, you are a respected member of the community and receive a number of special benefits in thanks for your brave service to the country. One such benefit is that, should you decide to return to or continue your education beyond what was received during your enlistment, you are eligible for a number of specialized grants and other funding opportunities to make your education more affordable.

Many opportunities are funded by the federal government; however, quite a few programs are state-funded. In these cases, several states have similar options for you to pursue. As an example, the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans, Inc has a scholarship program with qualifications that are pretty standardized. Vietnam veterans and their families are eligible to receive funding through this program if they are residents of particular counties in North Carolina. Veterans in question must have been awarded a Vietnam Service Medal, and all spouses, children, foster children, adopted children, and grandchildren of the veterans are also eligible. This particular award is for $500 and may be used for tuition, fees, housing, or books for any year of study.

Another offering is available for children of deceased and disabled veterans or those who were listed as a POW or MIA. Parents will have been a legal resident of North Carolina, and scholarships are awarded in amounts of $4500 (full study) or $1500 (limited study) for attendance at a private institution for undergraduate or graduate studies.
