Heroes Initiative grant applications are OPEN, and the clock is ticking. You've got until November 30th to apply! 🎓
The basics:

📍Who: Veterans, Reserve, National Guard (Honorable or Other Than Honorable discharge). You can receive aid up to THREE times in your higher education journey!
📍What: Financial grants to assist with what the GI bill doesn’t cover. Cap and gown fees. Parking passes. Lab and test fees. Those random fees that add up and weigh you down.
📍When: From Nov. 2nd to Nov. 30th
Where: https://www.heroes-initiative.org/apply 👈right there
📍How: Provide proof of past or current military service. Provide proof of enrollment in an accredited secondary or post-secondary UTAH based institution.
📍Why: If you're a Veteran or Service Member going back to school, getting certified, or leveling up your career, we’re here to give back and cheer you on toward your next mission.

Know a vet who keeps saying "I'll get to it"? Send them a ping. Consider this your official nudge.

Veterans Day is November 11th. Don't *just* say thank you.

On the 11th your feed will fill up with flags and "thank you for your service" posts. That's nice, but scrolling (and liking) isn't thanking.

🫡This week, try doing something a veteran will actually feel:

🤳Call or text a veteran you know. Ask about their story, then listen.
🤝 Hire, mentor, or refer a Veteran. Share a job lead or offer an hour of your time.
🛒 Support Veteran-owned businesses. Buy your coffee, gifts, or services from someone who served.
🏠 Volunteer locally. VA hospitals, Veteran shelters, and service organizations always need hands.
💌 Write a letter. Plenty of Veterans live alone or in care facilities, and a handwritten note means a lot.
🧠 Learn the signs. Veteran su***de and isolation are real. Know the Veterans Crisis Line (dial 988, then press 1) and check in on people.

Gratitude means more when it shows up before the holiday and keeps going after it.
What's one thing you'll do this week? Tell us in the comments. 👇

🏫He’s a new face, but he’s rapidly spreading awareness of Heroes-Initiative through Utah Universities!

As University Ambassador, Dallas is in charge of building bridges. He brings the mission of Heroes-Initiative directly to our core audience - Veteran and Service Member students! We are very grateful for the connections he has made with FOUR Utah universities so far! (Pop quiz, can you name them?)

🛩️In his free time (and after a good Ribeye steak) Dallas enjoys being up in the air - he’s in school to become a pilot!

🪖Somewhere tonight, a service member is eating dinner alone - again.

Some days, their service makes headlines. Most days, our Service Members face a long shift, a short call home, and missed activities with their family.

Our troops are deployed every single day: in quiet seasons and loud ones, on holidays and ordinary Tuesdays. Their families carry that weight every day too.

That weight extends beyond the deployment time and location. It’s waiting for the orders, getting things in line, long training days, departure, and then waiting to see if the final dates change before homecoming.

Today, on National Day of the Deployed, we are reminded-
Tomorrow, we need to remember them too.
📌Send a message to a deployed Service Member.
📌Check in on their family.
📌Consider how you could ease their burden - even with a dropped-off meal.

Being remembered matters more than you know.

👉 Make sure you join us on instagram to join in on Thursday Troop Talks and hear from our troops. https://www.instagram.com/hi_heroes_initiative/

🏫Picture a Veteran opening their college acceptance letter. First they are motivated for their new mission. Then they wonder: “how am I going to pay for this? Is the GI bill going to cover it all? What happens if not?”

For Veteran, Reserve, and National Guard students, our higher-education grant can help make that next step possible, and that’s what our silent auction helps fund.

The item you win is only part of the story. Sign up and bid by November 20th to help someone begin their next chapter. 🎓
