Lead By Example Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers

When you envision a role model, what characteristics do you associate with them? Guidance, inspiration, and advice are some of the qualities that come to our minds. Being a role model is a significant responsibility, as it involves understanding the influence of one's actions and words on others. As a personal injury law firm, Nicholson Gluckstein Lawyers is a community leader and we comprehend the importance of being a role model. Many of us have looked up to role models at some point in our lives, but have you ever thought of yourself as one?

Inspired by the various role models in our community, we are thrilled to introduce our Lead By Example Scholarship! This initiative was established to motivate students to consider how their actions can impact their community and those around them. We invite students to reflect on instances where they served as a role model and to examine the positive and potentially negative effects they had on others. What lessons were learned from these experiences, and how are they being used to make a positive difference?

The recipient of the scholarship, which will be determined based on the criteria detailed below, will receive $1,000 towards their higher education. The application deadline is September 30, 2021.
