Klenk Law Community Leadership Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Klenk Law
At Klenk Law, we believe that community-driven leadership yields a brighter and more just future. We have served many communities for years and seen active and educated citizens improve a community. We want to help a student with a similar passion for achieving their educational goals. Thus, the Klenk Law Community Leadership Scholarship was born.
With that in mind, our law firm offers $3,000.00 in scholarships to help students who exemplify strong community leadership. In the last few years, because of the number of talented people who have applied, we have broken this up into ten $300.00 scholarships. It has been inspiring to hear all of your stories over the years.
You may define your community broadly. Community is not limited to a hometown or where you live; it can be a social group, school, club, or any other community you have helped improve.
