Programs and Awards

Stetser-Lamartine Post 281 is a strong supporter of The American Legion citizenship, scholarship and sports programs.

Post 281 sponsors a number of young men each year, who are selected to attend the prestigious American Legion Jersey Boys State program at Rider University in June. And we are the proud sponsors of the Gloucester Twp. American Legion Baseball Team in District 4.

On a local level, Post 281 provides scholarship assistance to seniors in each of the three Black Horse Pike Regional District high school schools — Highland, Timber Creek and Triton. An additional Family Scholarship is awarded annually to a young man or woman who is a descendent of any Post 281, Squadron 281 or Unit 281 member. Auxiliary Unit 281 sponsors a scholarship in each of the three district high schools, as well.

The American Legion provides substantial scholarship assistance to students at both the Department and National level, as well. Application forms for most scholarships can be downloaded from this site in PDF format.

As part of Post 281's participation in The American Legion's Americanism Programs, our post sponsors several contests at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. Details on these contests are available through the Gloucester Township and Black Horse Pike Regional School Districts.
