Notification

All applicants will be notified in late March. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.

Financial need will not be considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of American Legion Post 62 play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

As part of your application, you must upload the following documents:

A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display:
- Student name
