Empowering Future Leaders: The 2024 Public Spirit Scholarship Winners
Congratulations to our 2024 scholarship recipients, Peri Stevens and Andrew Navarro! Find out more about our previous winners here!
At Addair Law, we are passionate about getting involved and supporting community members. We have a strong commitment to serving others and have seen how performing civic duties improves the lives of individuals and the greater community. People are generally inspired to give back to their community for many different reasons and would like to hear from students about what motivates them to give back or be active citizens. That is why we are proud to bring back our Public Spirit Scholarship.
We want to hear from students interested in public welfare and improving their community for this scholarship. We ask applicants to discuss their involvement in their community, any organizations they are involved in, and the academic value they have learned and/or gained from giving back to others. Some examples of civic involvement include but are not limited to voting, volunteering at a local or nonprofit organization, coaching for a community sports league, tutoring, or fundraising for a charity.
The deadline to apply for this scholarship is March 31, 2024. Once all submissions have been received, the entries will be reviewed, and one student will be selected to receive a $1,000 award. The award will be given to the person who best demonstrates their involvement in their community and how it has affected them.
We look forward to hearing from students about how they work to better their communities. Thank you for your interest in our Public Spirit Scholarship.
