I was just reading an article about 10 students receiving a $20,000 scholarship from the Samsung Corporation through the American Legion. I decided to check a little bit and it's interesting how visiting one web page and a little searching can bring you information on many scholarship programs.

First, Samsung has endowed the fund with $5 million in appreciation to the US veterans who came to the aid of Korea during the Korean War. If you are a high school junior who joins and completes an American Legion Boys State or American Legion Auxiliary Girls State Program and you are a direct descendent of a US wartime veteran who served between certain dates, then you may be eligible for this scholarship. Check it out at Samsung American Legion Scholarship.

While on the American Legion scholarship page, there are links to several other American Legion sponsored scholarships. Among them are the American Legion Eagle Scout, American Legion Nursing Scholarship, American Legacy Scholarship and American Legion Oratorical Contest.

Many local American Legion Posts have scholarships, as well, and you can easily find them by searching Google or elsewhere for American Legion Scholarship Massachusetts (or your state, city or town).
