The alumni association allows scholarship recipients to network and share their story.
There are more than 2,000 recipients of the Samsung American Legion Scholarship, which resulted in the formation of the Samsung American Legion Alumni Association (SALAA) as a way to promote engagement and networking among the scholarship recipients. SALAA has a presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, and now a webpage is dedicated to the alumni association to create further interaction among the scholarship recipients.
The SALAA webpage allows scholarship recipients to join the alumni association and share their story of where they are now and how the scholarship impacted their road to success. Visit the SALAA webpage at www.legion.org/samsungalumni for more information.
The Samsung American Legion Scholarship has awarded nearly $6 million in scholarship aid since 1996. The scholarship is available for high school juniors who participate in the current session of Boys State or Girls State and are direct descendants (or legally adopted children) of wartime veterans eligible for American Legion membership. The Samsung scholarship awards up to 100 scholarships of $10,000, $5,000 and $1,250 for undergraduate studies (e.g.,room and board, tuition and books), and each applicant is selected according to his or her involvement in school and community activities, academic record and financial need.
