VFW ScholarshipBy way of introduction, I am a member of Annunciation Parish, a 1964 graduate of St. Pius X High School and the former President of the St. Pius X High School Foundation. I am also the Scholarship Chair for VFW Roadrunner Post 10763 located at the Bear Canyon Senior Center in Northeast Albuquerque. In the latter role, I am writing to inform you of two scholarship contests available through the Veterans of Foreign Wars of which I hope our Catholic school students will avail themselves.
Established in 1947, our Voice of Democracy audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves in regards to a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, nearly 25,000 9-12 grade students from across the country enter to win their share of more than $2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program. The national first place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. Other national scholarships range from $1,000-$21,000, and the first place winner from each VFW Department (state) wins at least a scholarship of $1,000. First place prize for the Post 10763 winner is $100. The 2022-23 theme is: "Why is the Veteran Important?"
Each year, nearly 68,800 students in grades 6-8 enter the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen youth essay contest for a chance to win their share of more than $1.4 million in state and national awards. Each first place state winner receives a minimum of $500 at the national level, and the national first place winner wins $5,000! The essay contest encourages young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300- to 400-word essay, expressing their views based on a patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief. First place prize for the Post 10763 winner is $100. The 2022-23 theme is: "My Pledge to Our Veterans."
Students may enter the applicable scholarship contest and upload their entries online using the Q-code contained in the attached program announcement. Judging and scoring are done anonymously. Please note that the entry deadline for both contests is October 31, 2022.
I have already arranged with St. Pius X High School for the contest information to be sent to all students and parents. Would you please provide this information to each of the other Catholic schools in the Diocese. I want our Catholic students to have the chance to express themselves and perhaps win some help paying for college or vocational school. Thank you in advance for your help, and God Bless. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.Edward Steven "Eddie" Castoria, M.A., J.D.President/CEO, TeleTran Tek Services, Inc.Past President, Board of DirectorsSt. Pius X High School Foundation -
