Campbell Veterans Memorial Foundation Scholarship

Established in 2014 to provide scholarships for veteran students enrolled at West Valley College with a serious goal of graduating and earning a degree.

The Campbell Veterans Memorial Foundation (CVMF) is committed to remembering all U.S. veterans. It is well-evidenced by its captivating outdoor memorial in Campbell, California, especially designed to commemorate those who have served in the U.S. military.

The CVMF's vision is to honor and support all veterans, to raise awareness of their contributions, and to provide support for their families. An integral key part of the foundation's vision is to provide scholarships to veterans. That goal has become a reality through the establishment of the Campbell Veterans Memorial Scholarship Endowment.

Under the guidance of Dr. Daniel E. Furtado, for whose honor the West Valley College Veterans Resource Center is named, the scholarship program was created to benefit veteran students enrolled at West Valley College with a serious goal of graduating and earning a degree.

"We are committed to assist our fellow veterans as they attend community college and enrich their lives through new learning experiences," said Dr. Daniel E. Furtado, Chairman of the Board of the Campbell Veterans Memorial Foundation. "Anytime we are able to help a veteran excel academically, we are meeting our mission to assist in a positive way ultimately enhancing their lives both personally and professionally."

According to the West Valley-Mission Colleges Foundation, the CVMF Scholarship Endowment Fund complements the district's commitment to assist male and female veterans attending West Valley College.

"We are extremely proud with the development of the Daniel E. Furtado Veterans Resource Center and Plaza located at our West Valley College Campus," said Cindy Schelcher, executive director for the West Valley-Mission Colleges Foundation. "Now with the Campbell Veterans Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund in place, we are able to further expand our support to student veterans."
