Established in 1947, our Voice of Democracy® audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves regarding a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, more than 26,400 ninth through 12th grade students from across the country enter to win their share of more than $1.4 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program.
The national first place winner receives a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. A complete list of other national scholarships ranges from $1,000-$21,000, and the first-place winner from each VFW Department (state) wins at least a scholarship of $1,000.
Students interested in participating must completed applications on this year's theme, by midnight, Oct. 31.

The status quo is falling short
The U.S. spends more than twice per person on healthcare than other developed countries, yet our outcomes are worse. The issue? Our system was built for health problems we faced 100 years ago, when infectious diseases were the top threats.

To deliver on this promise, we built from scratch an all-in-one healthcare service for Medicare beneficiaries based on 5 ingredients:
