Disabled Veterans’ Scholarships Fund
The Disabled Veterans’ Scholarships Fund was launched in 2018 and thanks to the incredible generosity of donor support, over 312 scholarships have been awarded to help disabled veterans rewrite their futures.
There are estimated to be around 2.6 million veterans living in the UK, who have served in the Armed Forces and dedicated their lives to the safety of the nation, having trained explicitly for the demands of military life.
When veterans are injured or disabled during or due to service, adapting to civilian can feel like an impossible feat. The Disabled Veterans’ Scholarships Fund offers these brave personnel free access to life-changing Open University education, along with dedicated careers and disability support. Studying enables these military heroes to retrain for the civilian jobs market, to gain new skills and to take their first steps towards new dreams.
Your kindness and support during the Giving Day can ensure that even more veterans have the life-changing to access higher education and build a new future for themselves and their family. Please make your gift today, which will help towards provide up to 50 more scholarships in 2024.
