I founded and fund Scholarships for Veterans, a not for profit organization awarding community college scholarships to recent veterans in Santa Clara Valley. I have give out scholarships yearly for returning vets who attend De Anza-Foothill Community Colleges. Each scholarship covers the cost of tuition and registration fees for two years.
