Mortgage Company helps Vets
By admin | May 31, 2007
In keeping with my last post and for the of week of Memorial Day I found this nice little article.
It appears as though a VA Loans company decided to hold a scholarship competition to Veterans to describe the reason why they served. This could be a person going to college now or even for their children going to college. This was a really great thing for the VA Mortgage Center to do and I applaud them on stepping up for Veterans and their families.
The VA Mortgage Center.com has announced the three winners of its first annual Military Education Scholarship Program. The winners, John Parker, Stacey Lang, and Ann Marie Little will each receive $1,000 from the VA Mortgage Center.com to be used towards educational funding.
The scholarships were awarded based on essays written on the topic, “Why I Chose to Serve.” The submissions covered a wide range of themes from educational benefits to life skills to spiritual growth. Entries were judged based on quality of the writing, uniqueness, and overall appeal. The contest was open to current and prospective ROTC students, active-duty personnel with plans to attend college, honorably discharged veterans currently attending or with plans to attend college, and the children of veterans or active-military personnel.
All of the essays were a testament to the strong character of the men and women serving our country. The three winners stood out as dedicated individuals and excellent writers.
“It was great to see such a talented pool of applicants,” said Matt Wanserski, one of the contest judges and a loan officer within the company. “All of the essays were a testament to the strong character of the men and women serving our country. The three winners stood out as dedicated individuals and excellent writers.”VA Mortgage Center.com is one of the leading providers of VA loans and other related lending products in association with the VA Lending Program. The scholarship program has been funded 100% by the employees of the VA Mortgage Center.com to show their support for the servicemen and women.
