It is hard to believe that only two weeks ago we were announcing the finalists to our 2020 Husband and Wife Law Team Scholarship. The young men and women we selected truly exemplified the passion and dedication we hoped to encourage through this scholarship. Now, it is time that we announce our winners. There was a great deal of debate and arguing over who the lucky two would be, but we have finally reached a consensus.
We hope you will join us in congratulating our local Arizona winner:
Itzel O.
And our national winner:
Shane G.
Both of you are now the recipients of the $1,000 Husband and Wife Law Team Scholarship! After reading your essays and seeing how passionate you both are about your futures, we are sure you will use this scholarship well. We are incredibly excited about what you both will do in the coming years. We invite everyone to read both Itzel and Shane’s essays so you can see just what blew us away.
Thank you to everyone who sent in an application. Sadly, we could not choose all of you, though we truly wanted to. Reading 1,500 essays about hopes and dreams and passions warmed our hearts. We have to say, the future of this country is clearly in excellent hands. If you are still a student next year, we encourage you to apply again. Do not allow one rejection to rule your life and always choose perseverance over defeat. We must all try, and try again, no matter the adversity we face.
