ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP

Scholarship Program

At the Law Office of Samer Habbas & Associates, we hold academics at a high standard of importance and believe everyone deserves the chance to obtain an education. Unfortunately, education comes at a cost, a pricey one at that. Even the most financially stable individuals can fall into a bit of financial disarray with no warning. This firm understands how unexpected life can be. Struggling to keep a full-time job as a student, while finding ways to fund your education, can feel nearly impossible. We want to help with that.

Once your application is submitted, you should receive a confirmation email acknowledging your application within a week of your submission.  The winner of the annual Samer Habbas & Associates scholarship will be announced two weeks after the posted deadline. Please confirm you input the correct contact information before submitting your application. The winner will be notified via email, then featured in a press release on our website.

    If you’re still having trouble submitting an attachment, you can provide a Google Doc link in the body of the application form instead.

    Why won’t my file upload?

    The most common reasons a file may not upload are an unsupported file type or a file that exceeds the 4 MB size limit. Check the file format and size before trying again.

    If the file meets the requirements but still won’t upload, try refreshing the page or using a different browser.

    If you’re experiencing problems with the form, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then reload the scholarship page.

    You can also try submitting your application from a private or incognito browser window. If possible, you may also want to try a different browser or device.

    Can I submit a Google Doc instead of an attachment?

    Yes. If you’re having trouble submitting an attachment, you can include a Google Doc link in the body of the form. Make sure the link is accessible so that the scholarship team can view your submission.

    What documents do I need to submit?

    Applicants should submit their approximately 2,000-word essay along with proof of student status, such as a college/university acceptance letter or valid student identification card. The required documents should be attached to the application form.
