Scholarships For Children of NC Veterans

The N.C. Division of Veterans Affairs (NCDVA) reminds eligible students to apply for college scholarships available to children of North Carolina war veterans.  “In appreciation for the service and sacrifices of North Carolina’s war veterans, these scholarships are provided to help to defray the ever-increasing costs of higher education,” said Tim Wipperman, Assistant Secretary for Veterans Affairs. “The express purpose of the funds is to provide scholastic support to help children of certain disabled, deceased, combat or POW/MIA veterans.”  Scholarships may be used at schools located in North Carolina which are (1) state-owned institutions of higher education, community colleges and technical institutes or (2) privately-owned, non-profit colleges and universities.  There are several classes of scholarship eligibility.  Interested students should contact their local Veterans Service Office or visit:   http://www.doa.nc.gov/vets/locations/.
