College Scholarships

Encouraging and developing the next generation by investing in education.

History

King Law college scholarships provide support for local high school seniors pursuing higher education. Founded in 2017 by the firm’s partners, the program reflects our commitment to investing in our communities and inspiring the next generation of professionals. Each year, King Law awards scholarships to seniors accepted to college. Applicants submit an essay, and recipients are chosen based on their academic goals, career plans, and creative writing.

In 2017 King Law Gives Back awarded two scholarships totaling $2,000. The first two recipients of King Law Gives Back were Mr. Caleb Hill of Rutherfordton, North Carolina and Mr. Jay Wilson of Shelby, North Carolina. In addition, these young men were also given the opportunity of a one-week King Law internship the summer before they began college.

In an ever-changing world, the only constant seems to be change. At King Law we are tremendously excited about being in “growth mode”- geographically, personnel-wise, practice area, and community investment. King Law looks to grow King Law Gives Back- A Scholarship Program in the years to come by extending this opportunity to students across North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee.
