RF Wittmeyer Community Service Scholarship

The Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer Ltd. is pleased to be offering the 2021 R.F. Wittmeyer Community Service Scholarship to recognize and reward students that do their best to serve their community. While our main focus is serving our clients, we believe that community service is admirable and not recognized as often as it should be. That's why we started this scholarship to help students who have been serving their community to pursue a higher education that will equip them to continue to serve for years to come.

Our firm is proud to offer this $1,000 scholarship to a high school senior, college student or graduate student who has shown a commitment to community service and is pursuing a higher education at a 2-5 year post-secondary institution or will be doing so in the following semester, while also meeting the following eligibility requirements:
