Thank you American Legion Auxiliary members for your dedication to our children and youth.  By working the education program, you are supporting our students with their education.  And when you donate to the scholarship funds you are supporting the education of many students heading to college.  I have listed some of the education ideas from National below, but I know that each unit has their own great ideas. And remember to report your activities at Mid-year, December 15, and at the year-end, April 15.

​See the information about our Department and National Scholarships under explanation of Scholarships.
Please also see the American Legion Auxiliary National website at legion-aux.org Then look under Education Committee.  Also, the Children of Warriors National Scholarship is now an online application!

GIVE TEN TO EDUCATION

The beginning to school, holidays and cold weather is a great time where Auxiliary members can  Shine” by giving 10 for education.  School supplies will be needed and then will need replenished as the year goes on.
