Scholarship opportunities for Korean War veterans available

KOREAN VETERANS ASSOCIATION

Scholarship opportunities are available for descendants of U.S. soldiers who served and fought in the Korean War. In partnership with local Korean communities, the Orange County Korean War Committee provides financial assistance ranging from $2,000 -$3,000 per student to help offset the cost of education.

To qualify for this scholarship, applicants must submit documentary evidence verifying their status as a descendant of a U.S. veteran who participated in the Korean War. Each year, a maximum of 30 students will be awarded this scholarship.

The deadline to apply for this scholarship is Oct. 15, and the celebration event will be held on Nov. 11 (Veterans Day) at Orange County Korean War Memorial Park. All eligible candidates should take advantage of this opportunity.
