Build a Better Future Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Solano Law Firm LLC

The Solano Law Firm team is committed to uplifting the immigrant community with compassionate guidance and reliable legal services. As an extension of our commitment to bettering the lives of our immigrant community, our firm grants a $2,500 scholarship to two U.S. high school seniors who show commitment and dedication to building a better future for themselves and their community.

Every student has the right to higher education, and we want to support those pursuing higher education. That is why we are excited to offer the 2025 Build a Better Future scholarship to help bear some of the financial burdens that often weigh on students’ shoulders. The application deadline for this scholarship is July 31, 2025.

We would like students to explain their educational goals and how they plan to use their degree to elevate themselves or how they intend to make changes on a local or national level. As well as what difficulties you have faced along the way and how they have shaped your goals for the future.

Our Scholarship Aims to Accomplish These Goals:

• Provide financial aid to a student pursuing a secondary education
• Encourage students to understand their personal motivation for pursuing a professional career.
• Inspire students to overcome challenges in their lives.
