AMVETS Scholarships: Paving the Way for Veterans and Their Families
AMVETS takes pride in offering scholarships/grants to our nation's Veterans, Active Duty, Guard and Reserves, their Spouses, Children, and Grandchildren. These scholarships are designed to bridge the financial gap after the exhaustion of all Federal/State grants and scholarships available to eligible applicants.
Scholarships for Skilled Trades Industries:
AMVETS, in partnership with WD-40 Company, is offering scholarships for the Construction Skilled Trades Industries. With a current demand for 500,000 jobs in these industries, expected to rise to three million by 2028, the program aims to combat the shortage of skilled workers.
