If you are a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and finding that the cost of higher education is keeping you from getting a degree, you are not alone. Ninety percent of enlisted personnel do not have a college degree, and with 375,000 troops separating from the service every year, many are finding that current education benefits are just not enough.

The Fund for Veterans' Education will provide scholarships to help meet the cost associated with higher education for veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001 and who are now enrolled in college or vocational-technical school.

Scholarship recipients are selected primarily on the basis of financial need. In addition, length of military service (number of months and number of tours served) will be considered.

The Fund's revenue is derived entirely from grants and gifts from foundations, corporations, and individuals. All gifts are tax deductible. If you are a civilian who wants to help our brave men and women have the chance at higher education, please consider making a donation today.
