Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom Scholarship

Robert and Cynthia Hoehl established this scholarship in 2006 to honor the men and women of the U.S. armed forces and National Guard who have served or are serving in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. In particular, the Hoehls are honoring the patriotism, moral fiber, and commitment to peace that these men and women demonstrate through their service to America and its citizens. The Hoehls wish to give preference to candidates whose parent was killed, wounded, or became permanently disabled as a result of their service.

Eligible candidates meet all the following criteria:
- Attend an accredited school approved for federal Title IV funding (Pell grants, Stafford loans, PLUS loans)
- Be a child of a member of any branch of the armed forces or National Guard whose residence or home of record is Vermont; armed forces or Guard member must have served or currently be serving in Operation Enduring Freedom and/or Operation Iraqi Freedom (preference given to candidates whose parent was killed, wounded, or became permanently disabled as a result of his or her service)
- Demonstrate financial need
