Aspiring Attorney Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1
Award Deadline: Oct 31, 2024

At The Law Offices of Doroshow, Pasquale, Krawitz & Bhaya we are passionate about providing legal services to the people of Delaware. Being an attorney means you have the power to make a difference in someone’s life, whether that means easing their financial situation after a severe injury, helping them to spend more time with their children, or clearing their name of wrongdoing. How awesome is that?

Many of us are passionate about the research, discussion, and debating that comes with being an attorney. This type of in-depth, critical thinking is something that inspired us to study law in the first place. If you think this may be the career for you, we want to hear from you.

Our firm has decided to offer the Aspiring Attorney Scholarship to give back to students who are interested in practicing law.  We love the thrill of being attorneys and the opportunity to give back to our community! We hope that this $1,000 award will help lessen the financial burden of higher education for a passionate future attorney.  What area of law are you specifically interested in practicing in and why? Why do you think you would make a good lawyer? If you have participated in law-related extracurricular activities during your previous education, please share that information with us as well!

We understand the financial hurdles to becoming an attorney can be challenging and we hope to help ease that burden through this scholarship for one dedicated student. Read on for information on how to apply, and make sure to apply before the October 31, 2024 deadline!
