Soldier's Best Friend, AZ Earn to Learn, Google Grants for SVA & VFW, Veterans Writing Project

CBS 5 - KPHO
Soldier’s Best Friend is an Arizona non-profit organization that helps match Veterans with rescued dogs, and they were featured last night on KPHO news.  See more of how the pairs help each other heal and adjust to their new lives at: http://www.kpho.com/story/23961891/arizona-veteran-is-paired-with-dog-he-believes-saved-his-life

How would you like to earn $8 for every dollar you save?  AZ Earn to Learn is a program supported by AZ public universities, grants, and matching donations that is dedicated to helping low-income students afford a quality education that will help them break the cycle of poverty.  Through financial education, a structured monthly savings plan, financial coaching, and scholarship assistance, students may receive up to $4000 in matching funds.  Find out more at www.AZEarnToLearn.org and take the short survey at www.participantsurvey.org to see if you qualify by November 15.  Learn life-long good financial habits and get funding for college!

Google has awarded multiple grants to SVA, VFW, and other organizations to determine college completion rates for Veterans and policies that help improve those rates – see more at: http://www.google.com/giving/global-impact-awards/veterans-global-impact/

Share your story: The Veterans Writing Project offers seminars and a handbook for Veterans to help develop their stories, poems, and narratives about their experiences.  Part of the goal is to document the stories, part of it is to heal wounds through storytelling, and part of it is to inspire a new crop of writers.  See more at: http://veteranswriting.org/, or their journal at: http://o-dark-thirty.org/
