The CSM Leonard Maglione Memorial Scholarship

The Rhode Island Chapter of the Association of the United States Army is a private, non-profit educational organization that supports America’s Army – Active, National Guard, Reserves, Civilians, Retirees and family members.

Through this program, the CSM Leonard Maglione Memorial Scholarship is offered each year to be awarded based solely on academic and individual achievements. The maximum amount of each award will be $2,500. However, should the Award Committee determine that there are equally deserving applicants the award may be divided as appropriate.
