This non-profit scholarship program is a ministry of Freedom Presbyterian Church. It was established to honor Samuel Hall, an enslaved person who lived in Iredell County, NC, from 1818 until 1855.
Scholarships are provided to high school seniors who reside in Iredell County, NC. This scholarship is to assist descendants of Samuel Hall, African American students, and others who want to further their education. The long term goal is to enable students to build generational wealth for themselves and their descendants.
Free online access to Samuel Hall's autobiography, 47 Years a Slave, is available here and here in different formats.
