Last year, we had the pleasure of meeting a lovely student with plans of attending college following high school graduation. She excelled in school academics, worked full time, was involved in many extracurricular activities, and unfortunately, lost her father unexpectedly. She had plans to continue her education, however, it became more challenging, financially, due to this very unfortunate life event. Since our firm litigates cases involving personal injury and Social Security disability and sees firsthand how a devastating event can affect the family members who are called upon for support of their injured loved ones, we decided to start the Hope Scholarship.

In 2021, the Law Office of Philips & Raaymakers awarded $500 scholarships to students from various local high schools that had faced or were facing adversity or an obstacle in their lives and were overcoming or had overcome that obstacle or adversity. This year, our law office will again offer one $500 scholarship each, to 4 students that also have found themselves facing some type of adversity or obstacle in their life.

Please complete the form and write a short narrative to explain your circumstances. We will consider all applicants and notify the scholarship winners the week of April 15, 2022.
