About this scholarship

The VFW's Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship provides service members and veterans with the financial assistance they need to complete their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt. It’s just another way for us to say thank you to those who fought for our freedoms. Scholarships must be used by the end of the school semester for which the veteran is applying for tuition and fees only, paid directly to accredited schools. May apply once per academic semester regardless of previous award or denial, limited to one per family per semester
