The American Legion of Iowa Foundation scholarships help address the growing need for support of veterans and their families currently serving or returning from recent service.

Since the founding of the college in 1861, more than 1,500 Luther students, faculty, staff and alumni have served with distinction in the U.S. Military, U.S. Reserve and National Guard units.
