NCVVI Scholarship Program

The NCVVI scholarship program was formed to grant scholarships for study at accredited institutions of learning in appreciation for the service and sacrifices of Vietnam Veterans to their country. The scholarship will be used to pay expenses for any year of undergraduate study at any college, junior college, community college, or trade school. Recipients must be a Vietnam Veteran (defined as serving in the Vietnam Theater of operations), the spouse or direct descendant of a Vietnam Veteran, or a student who has attended and satisfactorily completed the "Lessons of Vietnam" elective. Recipients must currently be a resident of North Carolina, though this residency requirement is waived for families of current NCVVI members residing in North Carolina. The scholarship is awarded without regard to race, sex, religion, age, or national origin, and applicants may reapply each year of their undergraduate study. The scholarship is paid directly to the winner on a reimbursement basis upon presentation of current paid receipts for books, tuition, or student fees.
