Tampa-based labor and employment law firm, Johnson Jackson PLLC, has recently introduced a new scholarship program to support law students from historically underrepresented backgrounds or encounter health or financial obstacles. The Courage to Grow Scholarship, valued at $5,000, will be awarded once per academic year in an effort to promote diversity and inclusion within the legal industry. Candidates interested in applying for the scholarship must meet specific criteria, including submitting a personal statement illustrating how they have triumphed over challenges throughout their legal education.
The scholarship program was established with the objective of encouraging aspiring attorneys to pursue their educational goals despite adversities they may face along the way. Johnson Jackson’s Founding Shareholder, Erin Jackson, expressed the firm’s commitment to their core values of teamwork, innovation, growth, excellence, and courage. These values are incorporated into all aspects of their work, including their interactions with clients, colleagues, and the community. The scholarship was conceived as a means of recognizing individuals who have displayed exceptional courage and determination in the face of hardships during their educational journey in the field of law.
