Good Samaritan Scholarship

The attorneys at Connecticut Domestic Violence Information Center are dedicated to assisting those in need. They understand the importance of giving back to the community and supporting people after experiencing something traumatic like domestic violence.

To show their appreciation for everyday heroes in our community, the Connecticut Domestic Violence Information Center is proud to offer the Good Samaritan Scholarship. This $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a student who exemplifies the characteristics that are embodied by a good samaritan. We are looking for a student who is helpful and giving towards others. Good samaritans are sympathetic and kind; usually showing up to lend a hand at times when most others will not. We are excited to have the opportunity to acknowledge a student who goes above and beyond in showing generosity to others.
