A scholarship application form and information sheet which
outlines the qualifications and instructions for this
scholarship will be sent in the delegation packet. Please
read all of that information carefully.
You may also download the application from the American
Legion's website at www.legion.org
If you meet the eligibility requirements, fill out the
application form completely. Place your completed
application and required documentation in a manila envelope
and place your name and floor number on the outside. Copies
of required documentation such as the veteran's Form DD-214
are acceptable.
Applications must be brought with you to Girls
State and turned in at the time of registration. Late or
incomplete applications cannot be accepted.
Scholarships will be judged at Girls State
and one application will receive a scholarship in the
amount of $1,000. The winning application will be forwarded
to the American Legion National Scholarship Committee. The
state finalist will vie for approximately seven
scholarships in the amount of $20,000 each.
