Family Matters Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Stout Law Firm, PLLC

A family is important to everyone and what makes a family special isn’t always the same for different people. In our ever-changing society our typical “family structure” is constantly evolving. That’s why we’re asking the question, “What Does Family Mean to You?”

In an effort to place an emphasis on families and their importance to our communities, we’re asking students to submit their essay on “What Does Family Mean to You?” The winning essay will be posted on The Stout Law Firm Blog and receive $1,000.
