Family Matters Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000

Awards Available: 1

Award Deadline: Dec 1, 2025


A family is important to everyone and what makes a family special isn’t always the same for different people. In our ever-changing society our typical “family structure” is constantly evolving. That’s why we’re asking the question, “What Does Family Mean to You?”

The Stout Law Firm, P.L.L.C. is offering high school and college students across the country a chance at a $1000 dollar scholarship. All you have to do is submit a maximum 500-word essay that explains what family means to you and how your family is important to you.

In an effort to place an emphasis on families and their importance to our communities, we’re asking students to submit their essay on “What Does Family Mean to You?” The winning essay will be posted on The Stout Law Firm Blog and receive $1,000.

Overview

We are asking students to write an essay of a maximum of 500 words expressing what family means to you and how your family is important to you. Students from all backgrounds are welcome, and what constitutes your family is up to you. If your essay exceeds 500 words, it will not be eligible for the $1000 scholarship.
