Congratulations To Our 2020 Scholarship Winners!
Our law firm was thrilled to see the talent, creativity and dedication among those who applied for our 2020 scholarship awards. We received many well-researched and thoughtful entries from high school, college and graduate students from throughout the country.
The attorneys of Mushkatel, Gobbato, & Kile, P.L.L.C. had asked students to provide an essay of 600 words or less or a video of two minutes or less in which they responded to the following question:
“What is your impression of law enforcement agencies’ relationships with their communities? Do those relationships need improvement? If so, how could they be improved? What solutions exist?”
We appreciate every entry that we received, and we would love to award a scholarship to every applicant. However, we had to choose only two winners. The funds which they receive will go towards their costs of pursuing a higher education.
We thank every student who submitted an essay or video and wish everyone the best as they move forward.
