Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association Foundation, Inc. Veterans Scholarship

Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association Foundation, Inc. Veterans Scholarship

*Purpose:
The A WBA Foundation Veterans Scholarship Program was created as a way for Vietnam Veterans to help the next generation of veterans by assisting in their education, so they can better support their families and make a positive contribution to society in general. As Vietnam Veterans, this Scholarship Program is our way to “Welcome Home” our military men and women. We refer to this program as … " one generation of Veterans helping the next". We believe this program is our “Legacy” to today’s Military, from Vietnam Veterans who came home from a very unpopular war and got on with their lives. We hope that each generation of Veterans will follow our example and help the “next generation” of American military patriots that have served or are serving our country.
