American Legion Auxiliary Department of New York Scholarship

The American Legion Auxiliary, Department of New York awards a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior (or recent graduate) who is a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild of a veteran who served in the U.S. Armed Forces from December 7, 1941 to the present. You must be a U.S. citizen and New York resident, and you apply through a local Auxiliary Unit rather than the state office directly. Selection weighs financial need, character, Americanism, leadership, and academics, and the application calls for four recommendation letters, a short original article, and a FAFSA summary.
