Hard Head Veterans: Empowering the Protectors and Builders of Tomorrow

Hard Head Veterans was founded by veterans who understand the importance of safety and dedication in service-oriented careers. We established the Hard Head Veterans Scholarship Program to give back to the communities that have supported us – by supporting those who choose to protect and build them.

Our Scholarship Program Offers Two Paths:

  • Law Enforcement Scholarship: This scholarship awards $1,000 and an ATE ballistic helmet to aspiring police officers enrolled in a city/state academy, full-time degree program at an accredited university. Or those who are furthering their training.
  • Skilled Trades Scholarship: This scholarship awards $1,000 and a top-quality hard hat to individuals pursuing a qualified trade program, such as electrician, welder, or carpenter.

We understand the financial burdens associated with pursuing careers in law enforcement and skilled trades. By easing that burden, we hope to empower the next generation of protectors and builders. Many professionals invest in their own safety gear, and we want to help alleviate that cost.
