2025 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship

Congratulations to our 2024 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship recipient Chloe Lasek! Learn more about our previous winners on our winners’ page.

At BK Law Group, we believe 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 and want to see results as fast as possible. However, that usually won’t lead to the best possible 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 proudly announce our annual Strong Work Ethic Scholarship is back for its 5th year! We want to hear 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!
