Oleg Fastovsky Outstanding Citizen Scholarship

Mr. Fastovsky has worked tirelessly to provide service to those in his community since the start of his career as a criminal defense attorney. His work has brought him together with individuals of all walks of life, each of whom possesses a unique and appreciable story to tell. The glamorous life of a big-city lawyer can be appealing, but Mr. Fastovsky has chosen a path of service, overseeing justice at the personal level. His recognition of the importance that a single person can have fuels his desire to empower individuals who make themselves known through incredible acts of community service and duty. He is honored to assist such individuals and contribute to their educational aims.

The Outstanding Citizen Scholarship and Essay Contest aims to give demonstrated community leaders and dedicated citizens an opportunity to pursue the education that will inform and better their causes. We are proud to sponsor the discussion on the topic of good citizenship, as well as to offer educational benefits to those individuals who demonstrate that they are outstanding citizens.
