Leadership Excellence Scholarship

Whether you have always had natural leadership skills or have learned to develop those skills over time, your role as a leader has likely had a significant impact on your life and those around you. Being a leader has prepared you for the challenges ahead and equipped you with many of the skills needed to succeed after college.

Attorney Philip Moore has instilled the principles of hard work, honesty, and integrity into his legal practice, and he hopes to provide financial assistance to those who share these important values through the Law Office of Philip W. Moore, Jr. Leadership Excellence Scholarship. Each semester, the firm offers leaders the opportunity to receive $1,000 to use toward their higher education. Our Frisco, Texas law firm challenges students to self-reflect and consider the building blocks of a true leader.
