Meet Our Donor
In 2015, SEE4VETS endowed The Military Legacy Scholarship at Arizona Western College to inspire student veterans to “persist and advance” in their school work and employment endeavors. Funds granted to Arizona Western College back then continue to facilitate and sustain many veteran-centric academic and non-academic support programs.
