Our Voice of Democracy audio-essay program gives high school students the unique opportunity to express themselves regarding a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, nearly 25,000 ninth through 12th-grade students from across the country enter to win their share of more than $1.3 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program.
In Michigan, one student from the VFW’s 12 districts will compete on the state level, each winning a minimum scholarship of $1,000. The state winner will go on to compete at nationals. The national first-place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college, or vocational/technical school.
