The patriotic & noble AMVETS scholarship for Veterans offers a variety of college military scholarships for existing Veterans, active military, and also for sons/daughters/grandchildren of the Veteran. Even if the Veteran is diseased, his family is still eligible for the AMVETS scholarship programs. The AMVETS has three main National AMVETS scholarship programs for the Veteran and their families, and one National scholarship for veterans/guardsmen/reservists only. There are two other AMVETS scholarships which two colleges participate with the AMVETS in offering college scholarships for the specific colleges only – Devry University AMVETS scholarships & University of Phoenix AMVETS scholarships.
