At the Barone Defense Firm, we often encounter clients who are grappling with significant challenges and are at a difficult juncture in their lives. They are dealing with the harsh reality of feeling defeated and uncertain about their future.
Every day, we witness their battles and are consistently amazed by their resilience and determination to keep moving forward. Despite the temptation to succumb to despair, they choose to fight. We are committed to standing by them, aiding their efforts to rebuild their lives, and doing everything in our power to help them seize the second chance they rightfully deserve.
Our partners, who have always been staunch advocates of education, have decided to offer a scholarship to a student who has demonstrated resilience and personal growth in the face of adversity. We are looking for someone who has remained steadfast and resilient despite personal hardships.
In line with our commitment to providing deserving individuals with more opportunities, we are thrilled to introduce the Barone Defense Firm Win Back Your Life Scholarship for the first time.
This scholarship will be granted to the student who, through a personal essay, can most powerfully depict a period in their life when they triumphed over seemingly insurmountable adversity, and how this experience shaped them into a better individual and potentially a better student. The scholarship will award $1,000 to the selected candidate.
