Ray Snader Scholarship (ID 2029)


Scholarship Description

Start Date:

Amount:
$2,000
Description:
My father, Ray Snader, was a lifelong teacher, mentor, and wonderful father. He always sought ways for young children to better themselves. He was thrilled that I became an attorney and had elected to practice criminal defense. In his honor, I have established a scholarship that will promote an emphasis in obtaining a college education.

For those reasons, the Law Office of Howard A. Snader is offering a $2,500 scholarship for college-bound kids who live in a single parent home as a result of one parent currently being held in custody, or, because one of a parent’s former incarceration, the family is unable to assist in providing financial support for their college education.

I want my law firm to support the dreams of any young person that wants to obtain a college education and is otherwise financially unable to do so. I want to provide that one chance for that one person who otherwise would not be able to attend college.

I am providing this opportunity to a young person who wishes to obtain a college education, but as a result of a member of their family being incarcerated as a result of a felony conviction they have a financial hardship in obtaining the necessary funds for their college education.

Although I am an attorney and practice criminal law, this scholarship is not limited to one seeking a career in law or justice studies. Rather, as my father would have hoped, this scholarship is intended to help any college bound student who has had to deal with or overcome the obstacle of a parent being held in custody.
