Scholarship America and Wells Fargo are pleased to announce the launch of the 2017 Wells Fargo Veterans Scholarship and Wells Fargo Veterans Emergency Grant programs, designed to fill funding gaps to help veterans complete the postsecondary education or training they need to return to -- and succeed in -- civilian life and work. These programs can make a significant impact on students across America, and we need your help to spread the word.

The Wells Fargo Veterans Scholarship Program provides scholarships up to $7,000 per year, to fill gaps for veterans and the spouses of disabled veterans after military benefits and other grants and scholarships have been utilized. To ensure that recipients can focus on completing their degree, these scholarships are renewable, and award amounts will grow by $1,000 each year. 

Wells Fargo’s emergency grant program helps veterans already enrolled in postsecondary education meet their household expenses when faced with unexpected financial setbacks. Ranging up to $1,000, these immediate, one-time grants will ensure that recipients are able to stay in school without creating undue financial hardship for themselves or their families.

As a Dollars for Scholars volunteer, you’re in a unique position to reach out to veterans, students and supporters in your community. Both programs are accessible via scholarshipamerica.org/wellsfargoveterans, and will be linked in the “Student Opportunities” section of your website. Please take a moment to share the link with veterans, military families and veterans’ organizations in your hometown, so we can ensure that they get the help they need. Thank you!
