In response to bemused, the Horatio Alger scholarship is given out to people who have overcomed adversity. This is what the site says, "Founded in 1947, the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans continues to fulfill its mission of honoring the achievements of outstanding individuals in our society who have succeeded in spite of adversity and of encouraging young people to pursue their dreams through higher education.</p>
<p>The Association brings the Horatio Alger Heroes of today together with those of tomorrow by bestowing the Horatio Alger Award each year and by awarding more than $5 million annually in college scholarships to young people. Horatio Alger Scholars have faced challenges and realize that a college education is the avenue to a better future. The Association also provides its scholarship recipients with financial aid counseling, and internship and job placement assistance. "
