The Wat-Kim-Valley VFW Post 5460 and Auxiliary are again sponsoring two scholarship programs for our local students and members’ families.
“The Voice of Democracy” is an audio-essay contest for students in grades 9-12. This year’s 201802019 theme is “Why My Vote Matters.”
“The Patriots Pen” is an essay contest for students in grades 6-8. This year’s 2018-2019 theme is “Why I Honor the American Flag.”
You will find the themes, deadlines, eligibility guidelines and applications on the MN VFW Auxiliary webpage and the National VFW Auxiliary webpage, http://www.vfw.org/community/youth-and-education/youth-scholarships.
