The VFW's "Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship" provides servicemembers and veterans with the financial assistance they need to complete their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt. Scholarships of up to $5,000 are awarded to qualified applicants. Applications for the fall semester will be accepted January 1 through April 30. Scholarships are restricted for tuition and fees only and will be paid directly to accredited schools. Applicants must be a citizen of the United States and be retired, honorably discharged, active duty, or a member of the National Guard or Reserve. Applicants must have separated with or currently hold a military rank of E-5 or below. For more information, visit the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) website.
