Wells Fargo & Company has committed $2 million over the next four years to Scholarship America to develop and implement the Wells Fargo Veterans Scholarship Program and the Wells Fargo Veterans Emergency Grant Program. The needs-based scholarships and grants will help veterans and spouses of disabled veterans obtain education or training necessary to successfully integrate back into civilian life.
“American veterans are important to the strength of our country and our company, which is why we want to make sure they are able to contribute their talents to our workforce,” said Jerry Quinn, Wells Fargo Military & Veteran Program Manager. “Our work with Scholarship America will help fill some of the financial gaps our veterans and their families face with scholarships and emergency aid that will help set them on a course to success.”
“Wells Fargo’s generous commitment of scholarships and emergency aid for veterans is a powerful combination that will help many veterans and families by making the path to civilian life more attainable and affordable,” said Bob Ballard, president & CEO, Scholarship America. “Wells Fargo is modeling the way.”
