The Sonn Law Group Community Leader Scholarship

Paying for college is a tough burden to bear alone. The cost of higher education continues to increase, so students must be creative in funding to avoid extensive debt. We want to help.

The Sonn Law Group is dedicated to impacting our community in a positive way. We recognize the importance of education in the lives of young people, and we aim to contribute where we can.

That’s why we created the Sonn Law Group Community Leader Scholarship.

HOW TO APPLY FOR THE SONN LAW GROUP COMMUNITY LEADER SCHOLARSHIP
Higher education sets students up for success by preparing them for their eventual careers. However, success is measured in many ways, not simply by one’s profession. Contributing to your community and helping those in need are essential.

To support this end, the Sonn Law Group is offering a scholarship to a student who leads by example and makes a positive impact on his or her community.

SO WHAT DO I DO?
It’s simple; choose a cause, a charitable organization, or other group and dedicate your time and other available resources. This contest is NOT about donating money. Instead, you should give back to the community in a way that is meaningful.

A log of hours you’ve dedicated (there is no minimum requirement)
A signed letter or other document certifying your participation and hours worked
