For more than 15 years, Chapter 193 has sponsored two $500 scholarships through the Dana Fry Scholarship Fund each spring.
The scholarship is open to any person attending college as well as high school seniors. Having a veteran relative is helpful but not necessary.
“We aim not just at the top student but at those in state and community colleges who are trying to better themselves,” states Penny Robinson, committee chairman. “We are looking for people who have an interest not just in learning but an interest in our history as a country.”
“The main requirement is an essay about subjects from the Vietnam Era. The chapter would like to see more people research and understand all of the lessons learned as a result of the Vietnam experience.”
For more information and an application, interested students can contact the chapter at (585)768-4410.
