At The Jackman Law Firm, we are inspired by those who are able to keep faith, hold hope, and persevere no matter the challenges presented. Despite the difficulties that may transpire, overcoming these hardships can reflect a person’s tenacity, resiliency, and conviction in their own capabilities. When facing obstacles and adversity, it can be easy to lose sight of our goals and give in to self-doubt. However, through our faith and beliefs, we can draw courage and inspiration to get us through these challenging times.
Because of the inspiration we gather from the community, we are pleased to announce our Keeping Faith Scholarship. In this scholarship contest, we want to hear about how you have held onto your own faith and persevered through a particular challenge despite the barriers presented. Write a roughly 750 – 1,000 word descriptive essay about a particular challenge, how you overcame it, and what you learned from the experience. Our team cannot wait to read your stories!
The winner will receive $1,000 in scholarship funds toward their education as a reward! The application deadline is October 31, 2023.
