Samsung American Legion Scholarship
Samsung, a worldwide leader in electronics, endowed a scholarship fund of five million dollars to be administered by The American Legion. The endowment was made to show appreciation to U.S. veterans who came to the aid of Korea during its struggle against communist forces during the Korean War. “The Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program” established a series of scholarships derived from interest and other income from the $5,000,000 principal amount. In 2005, seven $20,000 scholarships and 91 $1,000 scholarships were awarded.

American Legacy Scholarship Information
American Legacy Scholarship Application
The term “scholarship” evokes an assortment of definitions and misunderstandings. Scholarships are not only for the valedictorians and star athletes, but for regular students with some unique qualifications. They typically fall into two categories: 1) need-based or 2) merit-based.
Need-based scholarships are more often than not determined by the student's EFC. Outside of the college, many scholarship foundations will want your prospective school to provide them with your EFC or at least answer some questions about your family's financial situation. As we've stated many times throughout this site, eligibility requirements can vary quite a bit among financial aid programs. Just because a student meets the eligibility requirements, does not guarantee them the scholarship. Consult the source of the scholarship for their application procedures.
Merit-based scholarships are typically based on a student's talent or academic prowess. However, other things like the leadership ability, moral character and involvement in extracurricular activities can warrant scholarship accessibility. While a family's financial situation could impact merit-based eligibility, usually it does not.
There is no shortage of places to find information about different scholarship opportunities. The internet has made finding scholarships a snap! In fact, there are several free services that will allow you to simply enter some information about yourself and the database will locate scholarships that match your profile. Check this one out:
There are a number of companies and organizations that have donated moneys for scholarship use to African-Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest. Please pass this information on!
