Who Can Apply:
- Lance Gillingham was a Vietnam Navy vet who passed away from Agent Orange complications in October 2023.

- This scholarship seeks to honor the bravery and sacrifices of veterans by supporting them as they reenter civilian life and pursue higher education.
- Any student who is a veteran may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, tell us how the military has affected how you view yourself and your country.
