VOICE OF DEMOCRACY

​Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW’s) premier scholarship program. Each year, nearly 65,000 high school students in grades 9-12 compete for more than $2.1 million in scholarships and incentives. Students compete by writing and recording an audio essay on an annual patriotic theme.
​
The national first-place winner receives a $30,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. A complete list of other national scholarships range from $1,000-$16,000, and the first-place winner from each VFW Department (state) wins a minimum scholarship of $1,000.
​
​Want to apply? Read the rules and eligibility requirements, then download and complete the 2020-21 entry form. All student entries must be submitted to our Post by midnight, Oct. 31.

The 2020-21 theme is: Is This the Country the Founders Envisioned?
