The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund was established in 2006 and of the various Legion Charities, we have chosen the Legacy Scholarship Fund as our beneficiary. The Scholarship Fund awards college funding for youth, whose parents have died on active duty since 9/11, or who have received VA disability ratings of 50 percent and greater. Each needs-based scholarship provides up to $20,000 in aid for undergraduate or post-graduate college education. The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
