The Fakhimi & Associates Scholarship – $500

Graduating from college is one of the most significant accomplishments in a student’s educational career. College students sacrifice countless hours studying and spend thousands of dollars to make their dreams of a higher education come true. Fakhimi & Associates have proudly served the community of Southern California for over 15 years, and we are dedicated to supporting undergraduate and graduate students working hard to complete their degrees. We believe the rising cost of tuition and fees should not prevent someone from continuing their education. Take this gift and use it to pay for any expense regarding your advanced degree.

The attorneys at Fakhimi & Associates want to give back to the community and assist students in need of funds for college by offering the 2017 Fakhimi Scholarship. This free $500 scholarship is intended to help a student pay for any fee related to their studies. There is no cost to apply, and no commitment to repay the scholarship. We think the youth of America deserves the opportunity to attend college and find a fulfilling career without the obstacle of money. We are dedicated to helping students in our community complete their degrees and avoid debt.

A college degree is typically financed by federal student aid or private loans. Not every student qualifies for financial support. Stop struggling to find resources or relying on borrowed money. Before you accept another loan, apply for this scholarship and concentrate on your degree program instead of your college expenses. Eligible students are encouraged to apply by the deadline. Applicants must meet the scholarship requirements below to win. This free scholarship will stop your rising student loan debt and provide you the financial freedom to achieve your goals.
