2025-2026 National President Lois Callahan's special project is the VFW Auxiliary's Continuing Education Scholarship.
The VFW Auxiliary's Continuing Education scholarship is available to Auxiliary members, their spouse, son or daughter who are 21 years of age or older and wish to further their education by pursuing a college degree or career direction at a vocational/technical school.
This is incoming National President Lois Callahan's 2025-2026 Special Project, so chosen because she knows firsthand how difficult it can be returning to school as a continuing education student. She benefitted from Pell Grants and the emotional support of her Auxiliary while studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist and she wants to help ensure that other Auxiliary members can benefit from the help they need long into the future. That's why, throughout the year, members will be fundraising and raising awareness about this special scholarship. How will YOUR Auxiliary get involved?
Application and an essay of no more than 300 words are due to National Headquarters by February 15, 2026.
