The Fund for Veterans' Education (FVE) provides higher education scholarships to veterans of all branches of the United States Armed Forces who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Founded in 2007, the Fund for Veterans' Education will provide scholarships for undergraduate study during the 2008 and 2009 academic years. Scholarships will be awarded, based on need, to veterans from all fifty states and the District of Columbia who are pursuing undergraduate degrees at four-year colleges and universities, two-year community colleges, and a range of technical and vocational schools. Currently, the maximum educational benefit available to veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan is just $1,101 per month. Those veterans who served combat tours with the National Guard or Reserves are eligible for even less - typically just $440 per month. In contrast, a four-year state college can cost more than $105,000, and a private college upwards of $133,000 - putting the dream of higher education out of reach for far too many of the 1.6 million who served our nation in the current wars. It is for them - America's Heroes - that the Fund for Veterans' Education exists.

The Fund for Veterans' Education is a program of an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization. The Fund's revenue is derived entirely from grants and gifts from foundations, corporations, and individuals like you. All gifts are tax deductible.
