Congratulations to our 2024 scholarship recipients, Peri Stevens and Andrew Navarro! Find out more about our previous winners here!
At Addair Law, we are dedicated to making a difference and actively supporting the communities around us. Our strong commitment to service reflects our belief in the positive impact civic engagement can have on both individuals and society as a whole. We understand that people are inspired to give back for many different reasons, and we want to hear from students about what drives them to contribute to their communities. For this reason, we are excited to announce our 2025 Public Spirit Scholarship!
This scholarship is for students who are passionate about public service and making meaningful contributions to their communities. We invite applicants to share their personal experiences with community involvement, any organizations they have participated in, and the academic or personal growth they have gained from giving back. Civic engagement comes in many forms, including but not limited to voting, volunteering with local or nonprofit organizations, coaching community sports, tutoring, or organizing charitable fundraisers.
The deadline to apply is June 30, 2025. After reviewing all submissions, one student will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship based on their demonstration of community involvement and the impact it has had on their life.
We are eager to learn about the ways students are working to improve their communities and are grateful for your interest in our Public Spirit Scholarship.
