Description
The Veterans Legacy Grants Program (VLGP), administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, funds projects that research and share the stories of Veterans interred in VA national cemeteries and VA grant-funded state and Tribal Veterans’ cemeteries. The program aims to foster public education, especially among K-12 and university students, and to highlight Veterans with significant ties to their local communities. Projects may include the development of educational materials, digital resources, lesson plans, interpretive tours, and community engagement activities.
VLGP seeks to expand the biographical content in the Veterans Legacy Memorial and promote community engagement with Veterans’ histories. Research can be conducted within any academic discipline and may be interdisciplinary.
