About This Scholarship

Through the programmes we offer, the American Legion, Department of Michigan gives high school students the chance to apply for scholarships or prizes that will pay for their college education. Awards differ based on the programme and requirements. Scholarships from the American Legion are available for the next spring semester. Academic achievement, leadership ability, and the premise of need are taken into consideration while making decisions.

The Guy M. Wilson Scholarship is only available to Michigan high school graduates who are the sons, daughters, grandchildren or great-grandchildren of a deserving war veteran, who are currently enrolled in high school, and who intend to enrol in an authorised Michigan college or university. A student’s GPA of 2.5 or better, financial need, and the applicant’s objectives and ambitions all play a role in selection.
