Description:
The law firm of Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD awards a $1,000 Child of a Disabled Veteran Scholarship each year to one deserving applicant whose parent has a service-connected disability.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that, in 2016, the U.S. has more than 20 million living veterans. As of 2015, almost one in four American veterans lived with a service-connected disability.

In our ongoing work with veterans disabled from military service, we see firsthand the challenges our real-life national heroes and their families face. To demonstrate our gratitude for their parent’s service, we established this annual scholarship awarded to the son or daughter of a disabled American veteran.
