[Counselors] Scholarships for Students of Veterans

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Post 9/11 benefits must have been transferred to a dependent while still on active duty.  Chapter 35 is only for dependents of retirees rated at 100% disabled.  If the parent is a member of any military associations, they have scholarships.  Also, if they are able to shop at the commissary, there is an essay contest scholarship each year.  My husband is retired military and 100% disabled.  One child is using transferred benefits and one child is on Chapter 35.

If the father who is a veteran didn’t use all his educational benefits, they can be transferred to the child. I would check with the VA, or possibly one of the military recruiters to check on those.


I have a pamphlet that a parent who was a veteran gave me a couple of years ago from the Department of Veterans Affairs and it's called Dependents' Educational Assistance Program.
The website it lists is www.gibill.va.gov<http://www.gibill.va.gov>

Subject: [Counselors] Scholarships for Students of Veterans

Does anyone have a good list for scholarships for students of veterans?
I was helping a student with scholarships and she informed me that her father is a veteran.  He is partially disabled (20%) and does have a full-time job.  She asked me about scholarships since her dad is a veteran.  I have looked and she does not qualify for Folds of Honor.  I was wondering about the GI Bill Transfer.  After looking all I can find is the Post 911 Veteran information.

If anyone has any information they could share with me on this subject, that would be great!
