Legacy Scholarship helps with college tuition

The American Legion strives to be a supportive figure in each child’s future, especially those who have lost a parent in the war overseas. One of the many ways the Legion supports military children is through its Legacy Scholarship. The American Legion Legacy Scholarship ensures that the children of parents who died while on active-duty military service on or after Sept. 11, 2001, achieve their dream of attending college. This includes legally adopted children or children of a spouse by a prior marriage.

The renewable scholarship helps high school seniors preparing to attend college, or graduates working toward an undergraduate degree, with the expense of tuition, books, room and board, and other supplies needed for college.

If you or someone you know is eligible to apply for the Legacy Scholarship, click here to download a new application. Returning applicants are required to complete a renewal application, which can be downloaded here. Both applications must be postmarked no later than April 15.
