LAFAYETTE, IN, February 24, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vaughan & Vaughan has served as an Indiana legal staple for over one hundred years. Starting in 2023, the firm intends to expand its community outreach by offering incoming and current college students the chance to apply for $2,500 in financial support courtesy of the firm's new Personal Growth Through Leadership Scholarship.
To be considered for the Personal Growth Through Leadership Scholarship, students should submit all of the following documents through the Vaughan & Vaughan website:
- An unofficial transcript indicating a GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Proof of enrollment in an accredited university, college, and/or graduate program
- Proof of U.S. citizenship or right to work/attend school in the United States
Vaughan & Vaughan also expects its Personal Growth Through Leadership Scholarship applicants to submit an essay between 500 and 1,000 words on the applicant's leadership experience. Specifically, the firm wants students to use their essays to answer the following questions:
- What were some of the main challenges you faced in your leadership journey, and how did you overcome them?
- What were the most valuable lessons you learned from your leadership experience?
- How did your leadership experience influence your educational and/or professional aspirations?
Students are encouraged to expand on these questions provided while staying within their essay's word limit. Vaughan & Vaughan also notes that students may discuss any form of leadership experience, from a managerial role at work to captaining a sports team. The firm encourages its applicants' creativity and exploration of unique perspectives.
Applicants have until June 15, 2023, to submit their essays to Vaughan & Vaughan. A scholarship selection committee will then review students' applications and inform the winner of their financial award within one to three months of the scholarship's closing date. Winners will have an announcement post made on their behalf and posted on Vaughan & Vaughan's website and social media.
Vaughan & Vaughan looks forward to reading its first batch of Personal Growth Through Leadership Scholarship applications this year. The firm wishes all applicants the best of luck with the submission and selection processes.
