SPORT CLIPS HELP A HERO SCHOLARSHIP

Financial Assistance Helps Our Heroes Reach Educational Goals

Nothing should stand in the way of veterans pursuing their education, especially worrying about financial burdens. That’s why the VFW Foundation, in partnership with Student Veterans of America and Sport Clips Haircuts, offers the “Sport Clips Help a Hero Scholarship” program. It provides vital financial support to service members and veterans, ensuring they can achieve their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt.
