Sport Clips Help a Hero Scholarship campaign, in partnership with the VFW, continues in 2025 with a much-anticipated Veterans Day freebie and a fundraiser.
The campaign raises money to fund the largest scholarship initiative of its kind for military veterans and service members. Help A Hero Scholarships provide up to $5,000 per semester to help cover tuition and fees. Veterans from all branches with a rank of E-5 and below are eligible, with funds sent directly to the educational institution of their choice.
During the promotion, which runs through November 15, anyone can support the scholarship program by donating during a Sport Clips visit. And on Veterans Day, participating Sport Clips locations will contribute an additional $2 for every haircut service and provide free haircuts for veterans.
More than 80 percent of the funds raised each year come directly from generous clients, with the balance coming from Sport Clips’ suppliers and product partners.
Free Haircuts for Veterans on Veterans Day
On Nov. 11, Veterans Day, participating Sport Clips locations will offer free haircuts to veterans and active-duty service members in what it considers the “biggest haircut day of the year” honoring veterans.
The VFW’s “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program was established in 2013 as a direct response to the growing need for veteran education funding that extends beyond the benefits of the GI Bill. Since its inception in 2013, the program has awarded more than 3,350 scholarships totaling more than $15 million, providing vital educational assistance to veterans as they transition from military service to civilian careers.
We have seven Sport Clips locations in the Wichita area.
