Power of Resilience Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1
Award Deadline: Dec 31, 2024

Scott has devoted his career to advocating for the rights of insurance policyholders and fighting for them to receive what they deserve- justice in the face of terrifying situations. Since beginning his career defending insurance companies, Scott now understands the strategies that may be used to completely deny, underpay, or delay policyholders’ claims. Further, Scott knows how to stay one step ahead of the insurance companies and will fight for your rights, helping you to feel secure and alleviate the worry, fear, and pain typically associated with these situations.

To this end, Scott has established a $1,000 scholarship with the purpose of supporting a student. To apply, students should write an essay discussing a personal crisis and what lessons they learned from that experience both in their own personal life and in the larger community. The essay should discuss how resilience can be used to recover from a destructive situation.
