Serving Those Who Serve America

For the 2016-17 academic year, eight students who proudly served or continue to serve their country will be awarded $15,850 in scholarship support to help them continue their education at EWU. These students served in all branches of the service, several are still serving in the National Guard or Reserves, and several have families.

Many of our veterans and service members have VA educational benefits that help them pay for school, but in some cases, this does not meet all their academic needs. Most student veterans are traditionally older students with families who seek additional support. Over the last several years, with the help of numerous donors and the EWU Foundation, the VRC has been able to create six scholarships or endowments which are specifically awarded to veterans or military service members.
