Each year the VFW honors three young people - from Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Sea Scouts, or Venturing Crew - who have demonstrated exceptional citizenship in school, scouting, and the community.
Each year the VFW recognizes three exceptional teachers - one each from the elementary, junior high, and high school levels - for their outstanding commitment to teach Americanism and instill patriotism in their students.
Our youth scholarships challenge students to reflect on our nation's history, their ideals and principles, and their own experiences based on a patriotic theme.VFW Post 12223 is dedicated to promoting patriotism and investing in our future generation. If you are a democracy-loving high school student from Montgomery, Willis, or New Waverly interested in a $35,000 college scholarship or a patriotic middle school student interested in winning $5,000, these scholarships may be for you.
