Dive into the opportunities offered by BVA’s Kathern F. Gruber Scholarships – a chance like no other for spouses, dependent children, and grandchildren of blind and low vision veterans seeking support for their higher education tuition. Applications for the 2024-25 academic year are due April 30 for the five awards valued at $2,000 each. The scholarships can be a valuable help to students and their families. 

The application process is straightforward with applicants evaluated on merit by a select committee. Although the Gruber scholarships are awarded for one year, students can re-apply and receive the award up to four times. This allowance can offer a steady support system throughout an educational journey. 

Noteworthy also is that the recipient’s blind or low vision veteran family member is not required to be a BVA member for the spouse, child, or grandchild to be eligible for a scholarship. It is an inclusive opportunity to ease the financial burden of higher education. 

Explore the possibilities, apply, and let BVA’s Kathern F. Gruber scholarships be a stepping stone toward achieving your educational goals! Additional resource information and application materials must be submitted online or via the U.S. Postal Service on or before the April 30 deadline. The completed materials are available here.
