VOICE OF DEMOCRACY AUDIO-ESSAY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Voice of Democracy audio-essay program was established in 1947 to provide high school students with an opportunity to express their views on democracy and patriotism. Each year, nearly 25,000 students from across the country enter the contest by recording an essay on a patriotic theme.
AWARDS AND HOW TO APPLY
The essays are judged on content, originality, and style, and the national first place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship. In addition, each VFW Department (state) awards a first place scholarship of at least $1,000 to its winner. This unique program provides students with a chance to win significant scholarships while expressing their beliefs.
