The Ankin Law Office Annual Scholarship for Military Veterans recognizes the sacrifice our veterans and their families have made for our country. Part of that sacrifice includes delaying education and training to serve our country. We hope this $1,000 scholarship will help the award recipient transition to a civilian career.
The funds will be used for tuition and books only and be paid directly to the award recipient's educational institution. A committee will select the winner based on the essay submitted on the topic below.
