2023 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship

Congratulations to our 2022 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship recipient Taft Foley. We wish you all the best at Harvard University. Keep pursuing your dreams! 

At BK Law Group, we believe that having a strong work ethic is essential in life. Good things don’t happen by accident. Hard work, dedication, and focus create the best results! While this can take time, delayed gratification can be the most rewarding feeling in the end! Today, people often seek to finish something or see results as fast as possible. However, that usually won’t lead to the best feasible outcome. If you aren’t willing to stay disciplined and put in the work needed to see a project through, you can’t expect it to be at its fullest potential. Hard work doesn’t come easily. It is a product of forming good habits and having determination. 

That is why we are proud to announce our annual Strong Work Ethic Scholarship! We want to hear from you about a specific time you utilized your strong work ethic. Tell us what the task was, how you stayed motivated, and what the outcome was. Tell us how the results would have been different had you not persevered through the entire task to see it to its completion. What motivated you to give 110%? We can’t wait to hear your story about the hard work you’ve put into something important to you! The winner will receive $1,000 to put toward their education!
