The Legion contest for high school students has been running for over 75 years and has awarded over $3 million in scholarships. It aims to instill in high school students a greater knowledge and appreciation of our Constitution, to develop leadership qualities, to develop the ability to think and speak clearly and to prepare them for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship.
