Eligibility:  If you are the child or grandchild of a member of the New Zealand Defence Force who served in what was then known as the Republic of Vietnam between 1964 and 1972 then you may be eligible for assistance.  The Board has determined that child or grandchild may be taken to include stepchildren.

​

What we Fund:  Our prime focus is on education and training.  We also fund sporting endeavor and certain cultural activities.  We do not fund medical or dental procedures, home improvements, car repairs or debt.  Applications falling under these five categories should properly be directed to the ‘Vietnam Veterans and their Families Trust’.  The Board will accept up to three applications per eligible person limited to one per calendar year.
