The Veterans United Foundation (VUF) has reached a new milestone in its continuing efforts to support veterans, surviving spouses, and the children of fallen service members. The nonprofit organization recently awarded a record $200,000 in scholarships to a group of military-connected individuals to fund degrees in fields ranging from medicine, engineering, social work and public policy. This year’s class of 25 awardees has received the largest scholarship total in the program’s history. "For many of our recipients, this scholarship removes a barrier that has been standing between them and a goal they've been working toward for years," Molly Froidl, a foundation coordinator for VUF, told Military.com. "Sometimes, through injury, loss or years of putting their own ambitions on hold to support a family or recover from service, this scholarship tells them that what they've been through matters—that someone is invested in where they go next." The scholarships support veterans with 100% service-connected disabilities, in addition to surviving spouses and children of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation.
