About Hope for Education

As a global technology leader, Samsung Electronics America believes in good corporate citizenship. Our worldwide charitable efforts to give back to the communities that nurture us reflect this ideal. Our Hope for Education program illustrates this belief. Hope for Education was created by Samsung in 2004 to support U.S. schools K-12 with the latest technology products to assist in the educational process. Each year the program challenges students, teachers, parents or anyone who knows of a school in need to write an essay regarding the importance of technology in education, and how it can benefit a school in their community. Essays are evaluated by an independent judging committee, and winners earn various awards of Samsung products for their designated school. In the four years since its inception, the program has awarded more than 280 U.S. schools with over $9,000,000 in Samsung electronics, Microsoft software and DIRECTV educational programming packages.
