JANUARY

I hope everyone had a blessed and safe holiday and that you were able to enjoy spending time with family and friends or just relaxing and getting energized for the new year that is before us.

Please continue to send in your monthly reports if they are applicable. It makes reporting at the end of the year easier for you and for the Department Chairmen. 

If you have not made a donation to the Scholarships fund, please look at your Auxiliary’s finances and see if you can donate something.  I know that many of us are struggling to make our funds go to all the places they need to.  Any amount that can be donated added to everyone else’s donations can make a difference.   If it is possible for you to make a donation or an added donation towards our scholarships it would be greatly appreciated.  It can change a person’s life for the better. 

DEADLINES – I know you are tired of hearing about deadlines, but they are so important especially when you, as an Auxiliary, have to get something into Department so that we can get it into National by their deadline.  So, I can not stress enough to watch those deadlines.

The next deadline is coming up FEBRUARY 15, 2026, for the Department of Oregon Auxiliary Scholarship and VFW Auxiliary Continuing Education Scholarship.

The Department of Oregon Auxiliary Scholarship is for continuing education – such as college/university or vocational/technical school.  The applicant must be a VFW Auxiliary member or a spouse, daughter, son or grandchild of an auxiliary member.  The completed application and essay are due to the Department Scholarship Chairman.  It can be mailed or emailed.  If you do mail the application by US Post, please email the Scholarship Chairman, me the date the application was mailed, that way I will know it is coming and be on the lookout for it. 

The VFW Auxiliary Continuing Education Scholarship is to be sent to the VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters 406  W. 34^thSt. 10^th Floor Kansas City, MO 64111 Attn: Program Awards Administrator or emailed to info@vfwauxiliary.org with the following subject line:  Continuing Education Scholarship Application.  The applicant must be 21 years of age or older, the spouse, son and/or daughter of a VFW Auxiliary member who has been a member for at least one full year by the application submission deadline or a VFW Auxiliary member for at least one full year by the application submission deadline. 

Thank you for your continuing support of these life changing programs. You do make a difference
