RF Wittmeyer Community Service Scholarship

The Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer Ltd. is pleased to offer the 2025 R.F. Wittmeyer Community Service Scholarship to recognize and reward students who do their best to serve their community. While our main focus is serving our clients, we believe that community service is admirable and not recognized as often as it should be. That’s why we started this scholarship to help students who have been serving their community pursue a higher education that will equip them to continue doing so for years to come.

Our firm is proud to offer this $1,000 scholarship to a high school senior, college student, or graduate student who has shown a commitment to community service and is pursuing higher education at a 2-5 year post-secondary institution or will be doing so in the following semester, while also meeting the following eligibility requirements:

Eligibility

• The scholarship is open to any current high school senior, college student, or graduate student who is a legal resident of the United States residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who is enrolled in a two to five-year post-secondary institution for the 2025 – 2026 school year.
• Employees of Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd., their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households of such individuals (whether related or not) are not eligible to participate in the Competition.
• Candidates for this scholarship should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Application Requirements

• The candidate must submit a 750-1,000 word essay response to the prompt: What community service activities have you been involved in, and why are you dedicated to your community? Please mention at least one organization you have worked with in the past, are currently working with, or plan to work with in the future.
• The candidate must submit a professional resumé that lists their experience, both professional and academic.
• The candidate must submit either an official or unofficial transcript from their current school. First-year college students, graduate students, or individuals who have recently transferred schools may submit an unofficial transcript from their current school, as well as the most recent official transcript from their prior school.

The R.F. Wittmeyer Community Service Scholarship recipient will be chosen during the month following the scholarship deadline.

Application Deadline and Instructions:

To be eligible for this scholarship, candidates must submit their application via the submission form below (including the essay, resumé, and transcript) by June 30th, 2025. Any applications sent after this date will not be considered.

Due to large volume of applications, we can not answer scholarship-related questions by phone.

By applying, all applicants give permission to the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. to post the essay part of the application on the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd.’s website.

Students who feel obligated to give back to their communities, either from a deep-rooted desire to help their fellow man, or to give back to a community that has helped them, are often not given enough credit or recognition for the important work they do. Although we will only be choosing one scholarship recipient, we want all applicants to know that their work is noticed and appreciated by the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. Thank you for your service to your community and your state, and good luck in your future endeavors.
