The Veterans Bridge Scholarship

When a veteran applies for first time GI Bill benefits there is typically a 1-3 month waiting period before they can expect their first payment. While it is a certain and inevitable fact that the VA will pay those GI Bill benefits, landlords and bill collectors are often unwilling or unable to wait. Therefore in response to this issue affecting thousands of veterans annually, in early 2008 The Collegiate Veterans of Santa Fe College created The Veterans Bridge Scholarship Fund. As a SF College endowment managed fund, each $15,000 contribution is matched by the state, then interest awarded each year perpetually. In the 2 years since the fund’s formation, nearly $200,000 has been raised by patriotic businesses and private donors. 7 scholarships will be awarded to new students using first time GI Bill benefits this academic year.
