“This scholarship is brand new, and honestly, that’s what I’m most excited about. The first chapter of this firm was built on showing up for people on their worst days. This is us showing up earlier; for students who are still writing their first chapter. School is expensive, and $1,000 won’t cover everything. But it’s real money toward your books, your housing, your shot. I can’t wait to read these essays, and I can’t wait to see what you do with where you’re going.
Submit your application.
Fill out the form, attach your three documents, and you’re done. Our committee reads every single submission; there’s no minimum GPA, no application fee, and no essay topic you have to fake your way through.
The winner is announced no later than July 15 on our blog and Facebook page, and we’ll contact you directly by email. The award is paid straight to your school, or reimbursed against verified education expenses.
