DAV Scholarships
Each year, DAV honors volunteers who demonstrate outstanding dedication and service to America’s veterans.
Volunteer service is at the heart of the DAV mission of helping empower more veterans to lead high-quality and fulfilling lives. DAV volunteers make a real difference in the lives of veterans.
DAV offers $110,000 in scholarships annually to be used toward any accredited institution of higher learning, including universities, colleges, community colleges and vocational schools. This college scholarship is open to volunteers age 21 or younger who have contributed a minimum of 100 hours credited through DAV or DAV Auxiliary. Students may apply with the inclusion of an essay on what volunteering for veterans means for them. Anyone can nominate a worthy candidate including the student/applicant.
By volunteering your time with the Field of Flags Across America program, students may accumulate enough hours to qualify for this scholarship. To learn more, visit our DAV Student Volunteer webpage.
