Each state picks one Junior member to receive $1,000, and five of those state winners then move up to a $5,000 award instead. Graduating seniors need a 3.0+ GPA and three consecutive years of paid American Legion Auxiliary Junior membership, so non-members can't apply.

What you'll need to apply

  • Essay (about 100 words): Veterans' legacy and community service
  • 2 recommendation letters: One from an educator or spiritual advisor, one character reference
  • Transcript: Most recent high school transcript
  • Minimum GPA 3.0
  • Proof of enrollment or acceptance: Certification within 12 months of award

Requirements can change each cycle. Confirm them on the sponsor's page before you apply.
