The Young American Awards Program is the signature event of the Western Connecticut Military Officers Association (WCMOA). It fulfills many of our chapter goals including love of country and our flag, supporting the constitutional government of the United States, and encouraging our promising students to become the leaders of tomorrow. Each year, our members are proud to honor outstanding Fairfield County high school seniors who stand out from their peers. We will consider their strengths in the following areas: Academic excellence, Patriotism, Outstanding leadership potential, Voluntary involvement in community service.
Generous monetary scholarship awards are presented to top awardees with funds generated by members’ contributions, plus donations by local private and corporate sponsors. These are given at an impressive formal military affair, before the end of the school year.
We need your help to make our 2026 program a success.
