Will Quiala, Chair of the Scholarship Committee, said “we are pleased to be able to support the educational pursuits of these great Veterans who have answered our Nation’s call to duty to defend our freedom and our way of life.” Leo DeLangis, President of the SWVF Board of Directors, added that “these scholarships are made possible by the financial support from the Southwest Veterans Chamber of Commerce, those who have donated to the SWVF, those who attend or sponsor the annual Patriots Ball, and other fundraising events throughout the year. It is their support and generosity that make these scholarships possible.”

The SWVF Veteran College Scholarship is open to veterans, currently serving Reservists and National Guard, and spouses and children of veterans killed in service or 100% disabled. The next scholarship opportunity will be released in early spring 2023. Individuals and organizations can support this scholarship program by joining the SWVCC, by donating to the SWVF, or by attending or sponsoring the annual Patriots Ball.
