Young Women’s Empowerment Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1

Today, we live in a society where education costs are becoming increasingly cumbersome to families, making secondary education out of the question for some. In a firm where we are deeply grateful to our community for our success, we would like to give back and share our success with the community responsible for it.

The ‘Shining Star Scholarship’ was founded in 2019 by Attorney John Ward in an effort to help families afford the costs of secondary education. The requirement for entry is the completion of a simple form that is sent to our Marketing and Public Relations Manager and reviewed by our leadership team. Winners of this scholarship display the very values that have contributed to our own success, including perseverance, excellence, and hard work. Additionally, we look to assist those individuals who aspire to make a difference in the lives of others and give back to their community with their vocation of choice.
