Congratulations to Our 2023 Scholarship Winners!

Our law firm was thrilled with the talent, creativity, and dedication we saw from our 2023 scholarship award applicants. We received thoughtful entries from high school, college, and graduate students nationwide.

The attorneys of Butler Kahn asked students to provide a video responding to the following question:

“How do YOU want to make the world better?”

We appreciate every submission we received. But even though we would love to award a scholarship to every applicant, we had to choose only two winners. The funds they receive will go towards the costs of pursuing higher education.

We thank every student who submitted a video and wish everyone the best as they move forward.

1st Place: Alfredo Briceño

Alfredo is a first-generation student who will be attending the University of Miami. The National Hispanic Scholar is a son of immigrant parents from Venezuela. He founded Proyecto Alegria, a non-profit organization working to provide humanitarian aid to underprivileged people in Venezuela. Alfredo plans to continue improving the world by growing his non-profit to an international operation.

2nd Place: Kaleena Arnold

Kaleena was inspired by her grassroots advocacy and working with pro bono counselors on her own wrongful termination case. Her plan to make the world a better place involves attending law school and learning how to practice law. Once she has experience as a lawyer, Kaleena can determine what laws need to be improved and how to change them.
