Military Scholarships from VAMortgageCenter.com

VAMortgageCenter.com, one of the nation’s dedicated VA Home Loan providers, recently announced a new essay scholarship contest for military students and family members. Essays must be submitted by May 1st, so be sure to get writing quickly!

The scholarships are made possible by the employees at VA Mortgage Center and have been awarded since May 2007. The contest has been run twice per year since that time, with five winners during each of those periods.

Any current or potential student with military affiliation – active duty military, veterans, ROTC students and their children are eligible to apply for this contest. Each of the five scholarships awarded will be worth $1,500, which must be used towards the pursuit of higher education.

For full details of the contest and to see if you are eligible to apply, be sure to read the requirements at their military education scholarship page.

If essay contests aren’t your cup of tea, then try reaching out to schools that already offer significant military tuition assistance like Jones International University, Colorado State University Global Campus or Robert Morris University. Each of these schools made our recent list of the Top 25 Military Friendly Colleges for 2011, and are full participants in the VA’s incredible cost-saving Yellow Ribbon Program.
