The Law Offices of James A. Welcome Announces New Scholarship

James A. Welcome

Waterbury, ConnecticutThe Law Offices of James A. Welcome is proud to extend a new scholarship opportunity to undergraduate and graduate students at United States universities. Students in all areas of study now have the opportunity to apply for the Strategies for Local Laws Scholarship, valued at $2,500.

This scholarship encourages students to think critically about the impact their communities have had on their long-term educational and career goals. The Law Offices of James A. Welcome specifically wants students to use this opportunity to highlight how students can give back to their communities by pushing for changes in local legislation.

Students interested in applying for the Strategies for Local Laws Scholarship should write a 1000-word essay specifically addressing their plan for transforming local legislation to relieve some of the stressors impacting their communities. The Law Offices of James A. Welcome asks that students present original ideas in their essays and abstain from using AI to generate their ideas.

Students have until October 15, 2025, to complete their essays and submit them for the scholarship selection committee’s consideration. The scholarship selection committee reserves up to three months after the scholarship deadline to select its winner.

Please do not reach out to The Law Offices of James A. Welcome with questions about the status of a student’s application during the consideration period.

Once the scholarship selection committee chooses its winner, The Law Offices of James A. Welcome will privately contact that student before sharing a press release and blog post celebrating their achievements. The team will then send that student’s winnings to their school.

The Law Offices of James A. Welcome look forward to reading through this year’s scholarship essays and learning more about the ways up-and-coming students intend to give back to the communities that shaped them.
