Joye Law Firm announced the start of its annual scholarship program on February 1. Since 2006, Joye Law Firm has been committed to supporting education in South Carolina, having awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships to deserving students.
This year, the firm will offer seven scholarships, each valued at $2,000, to graduating seniors in South Carolina who plan to pursue higher education at a four-year institution in the fall. The scholarship selection process emphasizes various criteria, including creative endeavors, school activities, leadership roles, special honors and awards, community involvement, academic performance, and professional pursuits.
In a continuous effort to foster inclusivity and support historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Joye Law Firm introduced a dedicated HBCU scholarship in 2021. This initiative aimed to provide a deserving student attending an HBCU with the opportunity to receive financial assistance for their education. Building on the success of the program, the firm is excited to announce that applicants can now apply for both the general scholarship and the HBCU scholarship using a single, streamlined application process.
“We believe in the power of education to transform lives, and our annual scholarship program is a testament to our commitment to supporting the future leaders of South Carolina,” Managing Partner Ken Harrell said in a news release. “We recognize the escalating cost for students to obtain a 4-year degree and our scholarship aims to help students pursue their dreams.”
Applicants for the Joye Law Firm scholarships can submit their applications online through the firm’s website at https://bit.ly/3w2hNPH. The deadline for submissions is May 1.
Joye Law Firm has been providing legal services to the people of South Carolina for more than 50 years. Founded in 1968, the law firm has offices in North Charleston, Columbia, Clinton, Myrtle Beach, and Summerville.
