“Chapter 907 of the Vietnam Veterans of America has been supporting Mount Wachusett Community College veterans for twenty years,” stated Robert Mayer, MWCC Director of Veterans Services. “We are grateful to our local chapter for their support and bringing the state council in as well.”

Chapter 907 of the Vietnam Veterans of America has been directly and indirectly supportive of Mount Wachusett Community College veterans for 20 years. Their annual donation to the scholarship, and the example they set in the community has helped inspire other organizations and individuals to follow suit. There are now six annual scholarships dedicated to veteran students.
