Magnolia Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Braddock Law Firm, PLLC
At Braddock Law Firm, we are deeply moved by the natural splendor that surrounds us. The lush landscapes, vibrant flowers, and expansive fields of Mississippi serve as a constant reminder of the intricate beauty of our world. We've noticed the younger generation's passion for nature and their commitment to safeguarding our environment for future generations. This has inspired us to contribute to our community and effect meaningful change. It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2023 Magnolia Scholarship.
As Mississippi residents, we share a profound bond with our state flower, the Magnolia. The sight of these blossoming trees is a daily reminder of the natural beauty we are privileged to witness. This scholarship is aimed at college students or graduates who are intrigued by their surroundings. We encourage applicants to reflect on the natural beauty of their environment and its impact on their lives. Applicants are required to describe the natural beauty they encounter, recount a moment when they were captivated by nature, and explain how it influenced them.
The application deadline for this scholarship is February 1, 2023. After this date, we will meticulously review all applications, and one deserving student will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
