While DAV Auxiliary units actively participate in programs such as Americanism,
Community Service, Junior Activities, Legislative, and VAVS (refer to the DAV Auxiliary
Manual for details), two national programs rely on mandates and generous donations
for special member assistance – Service Support Program and National Disabled American
Veterans Auxiliary Education Scholarship Program.
This program was established to assist those who find they are temporarily unable
to meet outstanding financial obligations such as utility bills, mortgage payments,
hospital bills, etc. One-time financial assistance up to, but not more than, $1,000
is available to Auxiliary senior members of the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary
who meet the established criteria. Assistance is limited to one grant per household.
Must be an Auxiliary member for at least one year in order to be eligible to apply
for assistance.
This program is funded by national mandates, but most importantly by the generous
donations of our members, local units, and state departments. Without this funding
the program would not exist and hundreds of members would not have benefited in
their time of need.

Announcing a New Program – National Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Education
Scholarship Program.
Since 1931, the DAV Auxiliary has proudly encouraged and assisted members of our
organization to further their education. From that time until August 2010, the organization
offered interest-free education loans to DAV Auxiliary life members.
The organization has developed an education scholarship program for life members
of the DAV Auxiliary who are continuing their education at a college, university,
or vocational school. Those full-time students who meet the established guidelines
may qualify for a scholarship up to $1,500. Part-time students who meet the established
guidelines may qualify for a scholarship up to $750.
Funding for this program comes from a designated portion of mandates paid by units
and state departments, but it has been the generous support of our donors that has
provided the opportunity for continued education. We all can truly make a difference!
