Veterans Appreciation Grants | DVNF

Veterans Programs

You may qualify for a DVNF Scholarship

A total of up to 50 yearly $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to Veterans to help them continue their education outside of the military. Awarded funds will be paid directly to the school with the intent to enable the Veteran to attend an accredited college, university or trade school.

The Goal:

The goal of DVNF's Scholarship Program is to help a veteran with tuition that may not be covered by the Montgomery or Post 9/11 G.I. Bills. Whether you are a veteran who is attending a private school, an out-of-state school, or are in graduate school, the G.I. Bill may not cover all of the necessary tuition expenses.

Eligibility Requirements:

In order for an individual to be eligible for the Scholarship Program, Veterans must:

Have served in active military, or military auxiliaries
Have a discharge with conditions other than dishonourable
Must be attending or planning to attend an accredited US institution at the time the scholarship is awarded (list of accredited schools: http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx).
A citizen of the United States of America.

Veterans Appreciation Grants

PROGRAM MISSION
To provide a fun outing or gathering for veterans residing in state veteran’s homes or in homeless living facilities throughout the entire year — not just on Veteran’s Day. Our goal is to show our appreciation, while providing veterans a chance to have a good time, build morale and strengthen relationships in their home and/or care settings.

ELIGIBILITY
Applications must be submitted by a staff member of a state veteran’s home, homeless shelter servicing homeless veterans, or by a case worker at a Vet Center or another organization providing such services to Veterans. Monies will only be applied to benefit veterans and their chaperones/home administrators/care givers.

APPLICATION
Applicants must submit the following by the dates outlined below:

Veteran’s Appreciation Application Form
Description of outing and estimated cost
Consent and Release Form to be filled out upon grant receipt

TIMELINES/DEADLINES
Since we have a limited budget, all applicants will be informed of the foundation’s decision and, if approved, the organization will be presented with a check to cover up to $1,000 of a Veteran’s outing. Please note that DVNF will not be responsible for covering any amounts over $1,000 if budget is exceeded.
