If your in high school, or in grades 6-8 you may want to consider entering into the VFW essay scholarship contests which the Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsors each and every year. You have the chance of winning up to $30,000 in scholarships from the VFW essay contest. Each VFW applicant will be asked to write about ‘Patriotism’, and what this means to him/her. This topic or theme is of extreme importance to the VFW because many US life’s have been lost fighting foreign wars. The VFW mission is to support citizenship in the US. Sponsoring essay contest for scholarships is one way which they exhibit their support of patriotism with students who are starting to understand the significance of this. The VFW has such a strong presence on Capitol Hill that VFW officials lobby Congress for legislative action targeted toward maintaining a strong national defense and improving military benefits and quality of life for all veterans, including those currently serving in the active-duty military, the National Guard and the Reserves. One of the VFW’s most successful legislative actions was making college education affordable for military service members with the signing of the 1944 GI Bill of Rights, the signing of the Montgomery GI Bill in 1984, and the signing of a new 21st Century GI Bill in 2008.
