The Samsung Group, in recognition of the sacrifice and commitment of United States servicemen and women who served during the Korean War to maintain the security of the Korean peninsula, is pleased to work with America's largest veteran's organization, The American Legion, to offer an educational opportunity to the descendants of veterans who have served so honorably.
Samsung has endowed a scholarship fund of $5,000,000 to be administered by
The American Legion. The Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program
will establish a series of scholarships for undergraduate study at an
accredited United States college or university. The recipients of these
scholarships will be known as "Samsung American Legion Scholars".
Eligibility -- Recipients must be a descendant of a U.S. veteran who served honorably during eligible wartime periods. Descendant is defined as "direct lineage i.e. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, etc., and legally adopted children."
The student must attend an accredited U.S. college or university. The scholarship is for undergraduate study only and may be used for tuition, books, fees and room and board (university housing or its equivalent).
The American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program in North Carolina is working with The American Legion's National Headquarters to provide Samsung American Legion Scholarship applications to participants in North Carolina's Girls State program.
If you are a direct descendant of a U.S. wartime veteran and are selected to attend Tar Heel Girls State, you are eligible to apply for this generous scholarship. All girls selected to attend Tar Heel Girls State will automatically receive an application. The application along with the required documents, should be submitted to the appropriate Girls State staff member upon your arrival at Girls State on Sunday. NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
