2026 Strong Work Ethic Scholarship

Congratulations to Phillip Antony Simpson Jr, our 2025 scholarship recipient! Find out more about our previous winners here.

At BK Law Group, we know that meaningful results rarely come overnight. A strong work ethic requires patience, self-discipline, and the willingness to keep going when it’s easier to stop. True success is built one step, one effort, and one choice at a time.

To recognize students who demonstrate this mindset, we’re proud to announce the 6th Annual Strong Work Ethic Scholarship. We invite applicants to share a story that reflects their perseverance, how they overcame setbacks, stayed motivated, and reached their goal through consistent effort. The selected student will receive $1,000 toward their education.

Award Amount: $1,000.00
