Past Contests

We began awarding students our Military Education Scholarships back in May of 2007. Every 6 months, we pass along another $7,500 to the most outstanding students who apply. Read about our past winners below.

November 2007

The second semi-annual scholarship contest received another great response. With the many essays we received from across the country, it was hard to narrow the winners down to only five. Here is a look at the November 2007 scholarship winners. As always, thanks to all who entered and congratulations to the winners.

The staff at VA Mortgage Center.com would like to wish everyone who entered good luck in their pursuit of higher education.

May 2007

The first VA Mortgage Center.com essay contest was completed in May 2007. Here is a look back at the May 2007 winners. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response we received, our employees have decided to continue the scholarship program as a bi-yearly offering for students. Additionally, we are now offering five scholarships instead of three, and each is worth $1500.

Thanks again to all those who have applied and helped make this a success! In May, there were many excellent essays, and selecting the winners was a very tough decision. We look forward to the continuation of the program and reading more and more great essays.
