Our law firm was thrilled with the talent, creativity, and dedication we saw from our 2025 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. While 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.
