Community

Since 1998 Mark Sherman has been committed to serving his clients and obtaining justice on their behalf while also priding himself on giving them the highest level of professional care. Following this mission, Mark has established the Juvenile Justice Scholarship to support up and coming lawyers.

The Law Offices of Mark Sherman, based in Stamford, Connecticut, is pleased to announce that we are offering a scholarship in the amount of $1,000 to one student who has an interest in working with young people who have already been convicted of a crime and been sent to jail. We want to support them in seizing new opportunities and giving them the means to be a success in their community. This student may have also experienced and overcome adversity in their life and can relate to these juveniles who are rebuilding their lives once out of jail.

Scholarship Eligibility

To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must be enrolled in college, graduate school, or be a GED holder who are about to attend college; they also must show good academic standing by holding a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Application

To apply for this scholarship, please submit:

• A current resume,
• A transcript,
• A 500-1,000 word essay describing a rehabilitative program the student would design for the purpose of supporting our youth and reducing jail times.
