Description

The Wells Fargo Veterans Scholarship Program provides scholarships to fill unmet financial needs of veterans after military benefits and other grants and scholarships have been packaged by their school. Applicants must have served in the United States military, this includes the Reserves and National Guard. They must be honorably-discharged (no longer drilling or serving) veterans who have received a Certificate of Eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs or DD214 or another document of service stating "Honorable Discharged" by the program application deadline date. A spouse or widowed person of disabled veterans meeting the criteria may also apply. Applicants must be high school or GED graduates, current undergraduate or graduate level one students enrolled in undergraduate (first Associates or Bachelor's) or graduate (first Master's degree) study at an accredited school for the entire upcoming academic year. Doctorate study is not eligible. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Two essays are required to be submitted. Applicants must submit their current college financial aid award letter (preferred); or most recent filed FAFSA. They must also submit a copy of DD214 (preferred), Certificate of Eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs, or other document of service. If the applicant is the spouse or widow of a disabled veteran, they must provide the VA disability letter and copy of their marriage license.
