Our 2021 Scholarship Recipients

THE FINNEY INJURY LAW SCHOLARSHIP Congratulations to Our 2021 Recipients!

THE 2021 WINNERS ARE: KIERA DOUGHTY ALLEIGH FINE TRAVIONE JOHNSON LARISA NESIMOVIC

NANDI PERSON AMANDA WOLF

We’re excited to announce the winners of our second annual Finney Injury Law Scholarship. As one of the ways we give back to the community, these $2,500 scholarships are awarded to students who are historically underrepresented in the legal profession so they can pursue their educational goals and prepare for a future in law. The scholarship can be used toward tuition, books, housing, or LSAT course reimbursement. Scholarship recipients must be a member of an underrepresented minority group in the legal profession, from the St. Louis area, interested in pursuing a career in law, and have a

minimum GPA of 3.0 and a minimum 1100 SAT or 22 ACT score. Each applicant had to provide two letters of recommendation and an essay. The essay could either be 1,500 words or 700 words with a 5–8-minute video, and each applicant had to write on the following topic: Explain how an experience in your own life has influenced your decision to pursue a career in the legal field. We originally intended to award five $2,500 scholarships, but the applicants impressed Chris Finney so much that he ultimately decided to award six scholarships instead.

A big congratulations to each of the scholarship recipients — you truly blew us away! We know you will all go on to do great things and hope your scholarship makes it a little easier for you to achieve your dreams. Finney Injury Law believes law should be a diverse profession and is dedicated to ensuring an equitable future. We hope to provide this scholarship for many years to come!
