Brainerd VFW
Impact
“I would like to extend my gratitude for the very generous Brainerd VFW Scholarship you have awarded me. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for this scholarship and for all the great things that the VFW does for veterans on a daily basis. As a veteran and an actively drilling member of the Minnesota National Guard, I fully understand that so much of what I receive today for my education is because of all the hard work groups like the VFW do every day. The scholarship you granted me will help me to attend nursing school. Upon my completion of nursing school, my intent is to work for the VA and give back to other veterans. I feel that nobody understands a combat vet like another combat vet.”

“I am honored to be awarded your scholarship. It will go a long way toward my goal of becoming a social worker and helping people who struggle with chemical abuse. The support I have been receiving from my fellow Veterans has been wonderful and I cannot thank you enough.”

“Thank you for your generosity and support. I promise you I will work very hard and eventually give something back to others, whether it is by offering my time to help people or even possibly a scholarship to future students like myself.”
