Roots and Routes Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Law Office of Eric M. Mark

Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1
Deadline : May 31, 2025

This scholarship is designed to support students who are either immigrants themselves or come from immigrant families. We invite applicants to share their unique immigration stories. How did your family come to the United States? What challenges did you or your family face during the immigration process or in becoming American citizens? How has this experience impacted your life or the lives of your family members?

In addition to highlighting personal stories, we encourage applicants to reflect on the broader significance of immigration and how it shapes communities and enriches American society. The Roots and Routes Scholarship aims to celebrate the resilience and determination of immigrants and their families, and to provide financial assistance to those pursuing their educational goals. The deadline for applications is May 31, 2025. We look forward to hearing your inspiring stories and supporting your academic journey.
