Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW’s) premier scholarship program. Each year, nearly 26,000 high school students compete for more than $2 million in scholarships and incentives. Students compete by writing and recording an audio essay on an annual patriotic theme. This year’s theme is "What a Veteran Taught me about America" Prizes and scholarships can be awarded at the Post, District, state and national level. National winners will be notified of their scholarship & placement.
