Whether it’s fighting for quality health care and decent benefits, providing opportunities to get back into life through adaptive sports, helping veterans with disabilities get good jobs and careers, or educating clinicians about spinal cord injury/dysfunction or investing in a cure for paralysis, PVA is empowering people with disabilities and their families.
The PVA Scholarship Program provides some financial reprieve for Paralyzed Veterans members and their families and helps them achieve their goals in the academic arena. Since 1986, they have awarded over $300,000 in scholarships. If you are seeking a monetary scholarship to assist you in reaching your post-secondary educational goals, you may want to apply:
