Description:
We cannot understate the significance of continuing education. Unfortunately, there are many children whose life experiences potentially jeopardize the educational opportunities available to them. Children are our greatest resource. It is of the utmost importance that as a nation, we invest in the future of all children. We must consider those whose futures are at risk due to unfavorable circumstances at home.

For this reason, Eskew Law, LLC is proud to offer a $1,500 scholarship for college-bound or current college students who are children of convicted felons. To apply, write a 500+ word essay sharing your story. Answer the prompt: How has being a child of a convicted felon impacted your life and what has your parent’s conviction taught you?

Once all submissions have been received, the Indianapolis criminal defense attorneys at Eskew Law, LLC will review each entry and award a $1,500 scholarship to the one applicant who best demonstrates how being a child of a convicted felon has influenced his/her life and what he/she has learned as a result of his/her parent’s conviction. The scholarship can be applied towards any school-related costs, such as tuition, boarding, school supplies, or books.
