Scholarship award INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — John B. Harringa, a senior at Central Springs High School, Manly, Iowa, was selected to

receive a $20,000 college scholarship through the Samsung-American Legion program. He is the son of Bob and Vicki Harringa, Hanlontown, Iowa. Harringa’s selection was based on his class standing, academic and civic achievements and financial need. Eleven students earned the scholarships from a finalist group of nearly 100. Eligibility for scholarships requires students to be direct descendants of U.S. wartime veterans. Harringa’s grandfather,

LaVerne Faktor, served in the Korean War. The Samsung Group, an international electronics company, endowed a scholarship fund of $5 million to be administered by The American Legion, 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 size and number of scholarships is dependent upon the amount of income derived from the fund.
