Empowering Iowa’s Veterans and Their Families for a Brighter Future

The Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation is committed to honoring the service and sacrifice of Iowa’s veterans by helping them build successful futures beyond military life. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by investing in education and professional development through scholarships and job skills training.

Our mission is to ensure that veterans, and their immediate family members, have access to the educational and vocational opportunities they need to thrive in today’s competitive workforce. Whether pursuing a college degree, completing a certification program, or learning a new trade, these programs are designed to remove financial barriers and open doors to meaningful careers.

Through the generosity of donors and community partners, the Foundation provides direct financial assistance and program funding to help Veterans gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to achieve long-term stability and success. Each scholarship or training opportunity represents more than financial aid; it is an investment in the lives of those who have served, and in the strength and prosperity of our Iowa communities.

By empowering Veterans and their families through education and job-skills training, the Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation helps ensure that the men and women who defended our freedom have every opportunity to secure a prosperous and purposeful future.
