Scholarship

Rise Up Scholarship

At Mirador Law, we recognize that overcoming adversity is often the foundation of personal growth and lasting success. The Rise Up Scholarship, a $1,000 award, is designed to celebrate students who have demonstrated resilience and determination in the face of life’s obstacles. We aim to support those who have not only faced challenges but have also embraced them as stepping stones toward a brighter future.

This scholarship invites students to share their stories of growth, reflecting the spirit of perseverance that defines strong, capable leaders. By fostering these qualities, we hope to empower students who have shown an extraordinary commitment to their own potential.

The deadline to apply for the Rise Up Scholarship is August 31, 2025, and one deserving student will be selected to receive this award. Mirador Law is proud to stand behind these remarkable individuals, championing their journey toward success and their vision for a better tomorrow.

Award Amount: $1,000
