The short form is "No". There may be partial scholarships from some vetrans organizations, and if he earned "The medal", the Congressional Medal of Honor, there are scholarships to the service academies. Since you give no information on your father's service, I cannot give you a lot of information with any certainty. Your best source would be to contact some of the Vietnam vterans organizations, many are listed on the web. Be ready to answer questions regarding your fathers service, as certain things may affect eligabilities for grants or scholarships that may be available. By the way, nothing is free, if you DO get a grant or scholarship, consider that he paid for it in advance with his blood, sweat, and courage. Thank him, and all others like him.
No.
None at all. Sorry. There are tons of grants available out there though so you may want to research those. Your school admissions department will have a list.
When you fill out the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal money, there are questions that as about your and your parents' military status.

Good luck!
This is changing all the time. Ask your father. Is he getting any benefits at this time? My father is getting 100% benefits now from being in Vietnam and my brother and sister will likely be able to go to school for free pretty soon.
