The MKFM Resilient Student Scholarship

The MKFM Resilient Student Scholarship, worth $1,500, seeks to award students who have endured the difficulties of having parents who divorce.
Our firm understands a divorce’s enormous impact on a child’s upbringing and well-being. Questions such as, “How will I pay for my education?” are commonly asked by many students whose parents are divorced. Through our scholarship, we hope to ease this burden and assist hardworking students in their college education journey.
As students apply for our scholarship and look toward their future, we hope opportunities like ours encourage them to persevere in their studies, notwithstanding the hurdles that they have encountered in their family life.
