American Legion Legacy Scholarship
As an unfortunate consequence of Operation Iraqi Freedom and America’s war on terror, many children of our active-duty military personnel
are now members of single-parent families. In most cases, this also means their chances to attend college have greatly diminished. Children of
military personnel killed on active duty are entitled to receive money toward a college education. But it’s not enough.
An education is a powerful way to show our thanks. That is why we have established the American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund. The
American Legion fights to see that our active-duty military personnel and their families are looked after. But despite our efforts, recent years
have seen a significant shortfall in dollars allotted by our government. The educational benefit provided to surviving children is one of these
critical gaps.
