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.
