Mississippi Striving for Justice Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1

At Van Cleave Law, we strive to obtain justice for our clients, no matter their situation. Whether handling personal injury, wrongful death, or breach of contract cases, we always strive for the best possible results for each specific client. What truly drives Christopher Van Cleave and his team is obtaining justice for those affected by injuries, the death of a loved one, or the failure of a business partner to keep its promise.

In furtherance of the pursuit of justice, and with an eye toward helping the next generation succeed, Van Cleave Law has proudly offered The Striving for Justice Scholarship since 2019. This opportunity is provided to students attending or preparing to attend college in the United States, and the Scholarship is awarded to the qualifying student who can best articulate how the student stands up for others and fights for justice in the student’s local community. In the essay, the applicant should provide an overview of what types of injustice the applicant is fighting to overcome in the applicant’s local community, and how others can get involved.

The winner of the Striving for Justice Scholarship will be chosen based on the criteria outlined below, and will be awarded $1,000 to help with the cost of furthering education.
