The Indiana Department of Veteran Affairs will be offering funding applications to veteran families experiencing financial hardships this summer.

Operation Back to School offers veteran families $500 per dependent child for back to school expenses. Veteran families are able to apply and receive money from the Military Family Relief Fund for children in grades K-12 and full time college students that still live with their veteran family up to age 23.

Applications will be accepted from June 1 to August 31. Those interested in applying must have proof of income, proof of child’s residency, proof of child’s dependency, a bank statement, and a DD 214.
