Here is a quick snapshot of a few important initiatives that are upon us: If you’re a student veteran interested in advocating for veterans on Capitol Hill, time is running out to apply for the 2022 VFW-SVA Legislative Fellowship class. Applications for the fellowship must be received by Nov. 1. For student veterans who could use some help paying for school, the VFW’s "Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” application is due on Nov. 15. If you know of a youth interested in their share of nearly $3 million in scholarships and awards, encourage them to submit their Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen essay entries to their local Post by Oct. 31. Now through Veterans Day, show your dedication for America's student veterans by supporting Sport Clips' annual Help A Hero campaign by visiting your local Sport Clips, or by registering you or your team for the virtual VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero Walk.
