Participants of ALA Tar Heel Girls State are eligible to apply if they are direct descendants (i.e. child, grandchild, etc.) of a wartime U.S. military veteran who served on active duty during one of the periods of war officially designated as eligibility dates for American Legion Membership.

There have been delays in the documentation providing proof of service. We strongly recommend requesting that material as soon as possible.

Applications are due no later than 11:59pm on the first day of ALA THGS.

Keep in mind you will not have internet access nor time to complete the application after you arrive at ALA THGS. We STRONGLY recommend submitting the application BEFORE you arrive.

We will have an information session on the Samsung Scholarship in May 2023. Please check your email regularly for more information.
