American Legion to host oratory contest

College. Money. Two words that go hand-in-hand. It takes a lot of money to pay for a college education. 

For high school students, there is a way to actually talk your way to college. 

Each year the American Legion High School Oratorical Scholarship Program awards more than $138,000 in college scholarships. The contest is open to all high school and homeschool students in grades 9-12.

Students and parents who want more information can contact Barb Labate of American Legion Post 11 at 515-386-5547 for details. “Find out today how you can talk your way to college,” Labate said.

Deadline for applications is Nov. 1.
