THE 2025-26 VOD THEME:
"How Are You Showing Patriotism and Support For Our Country?"
The VFW Voice of Democracy audio-essay program provides high school students with the unique opportunity to express themselves on a democratic and patriotic-themed recorded essay. Each year, nearly 27,000 9th through 12th grade students from across the country enter to win their share of more than $2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the program.
In Michigan, one student from each of the VFW's 12 Districts will compete on the state level, each winning a minimum scholarship of $1,000. The State winner will go on to compete at the National level of judging. The National first place winner will receive a $35,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school of choice.
