Submit a "Blue Chip" Recommendation
What is a Blue Chip?
At The Purple Heart Project, we refer to the act of recommending combat wounded Veterans for a PHP scholarship as "Blue Chipping." When you "Blue Chip" a combat wounded Veteran, you are confirming the Veteran meets all the criteria for a PHP Scholarship (See "Who can apply" on the application page) and you have assessed they are a good fit for the program. Your endorsement serves as a crucial step in ensuring that deserving combat wounded Veterans are selected for a PHP scholarship and thus carries great resposibility.
Who Can Submit a Blue Chip
Only the following individuals can submit a "Blue Chip" scholarship recommendation:
1) Previous Purple Heart Project scholarship selectees
2) Previous Training the Hand Workshop attendees.
3) Members of the PHP Board of Directors
4) Select PHP supportors granted Blue Chip authority by the PHP Board of Directors.
