Samuel Fremd | Million Dollar Roundtable

Samuel Fremd was born on August 10, 1945, in a displaced person’s camp in Germany, just months after the end of World War II in Europe. His parents later moved to Long Beach, New York, and he attended Adelphi University as a commuter student and majored in business. After graduating in 1969, Fremd became a successful financial planner and invested in real estate in the Long Beach area.

Though he had contributed modestly throughout his lifetime to Adelphi’s Annual Fund, his multimillion-dollar legacy gift came unexpectedly when Adelphi was informed of Fremd’s bequest in January 2022, after his passing in April 2021.

Fremd’s endowment was established to support the College of Nursing and Public Health, in honor of his mother and the care she received from hospital nurses as she battled lung cancer, specifically to fund scholarships for prospective nurses who could otherwise not afford the cost of tuition.

I owe so much of my success to Adelphi but most of it to my mother, whom I lost at a young age. I’m so glad to be honoring both of them through an endowed scholarship for Adelphi students who aspire to care for patients the way my mother’s nurses cared for her.
