Luther College has received a $2,000 American Legion of Iowa Foundation grant in support of scholarships for veterans.

The American Legion of Iowa Foundation scholarships help address the growing need for support of veterans returning from recent service. Since the founding of the college in 1861, more than 1,500 Luther students, faculty, staff and alumni have served in the U.S. armed forces and reserves.
