Scholarship Program

This scholarship program, sponsored by The American Legion Department of Vermont, has a challenging and noble purpose, which is broadly and aptly stated in the following program slogan:

"An Educational Opportunity for Every Qualified Student"

Scholarships are plentiful.

However, there are so many different scholarships offered under so many different terms of eligibility that it has become increasingly difficult to find the individual scholarship to fit the individual student. Our Scholarship Program has very few restrictions. It is an established fact that more than 50% of the best brains in our country are not trained beyond the high school level. There must be a reason for this. One is motivation - no one makes them think it is important to go on.

The other is economy - they can't afford to go. It is good common sense that boys and girls acquire all the education possible. It is our conviction that through the combined efforts of the student, parents and others, such as the Vermont American Legion Scholarship Program, this goal can be accomplished. The American Legion believes that more students will continue their education if they are given a helping hand.

Through the splendid cooperation and support of the entire American Legion Department of Vermont Membership, this scholarship program has been made possible.
