Rising Stars Scholarship

Rising Stars Scholarship
At Jeffrey Coller, Knoxville Criminal Defense Attorney, we understand the difficulties that many students face as they pursue a college education. As young people leave their parents’ homes, adjust to new situations, become involved in activities on college campuses, earn income through part-time employment, and attend classes, they may struggle to keep their grades up.
The efforts of those who have encountered and overcome these types of challenges should be recognized. Through our Rising Stars Scholarship, we seek to do just that.

Our scholarship program provides financial assistance to students who have been able to significantly improve their grade point averages since beginning their college education. Each semester, we award a $1,000 scholarship to a student who can demonstrate that their GPA has increased by at least one point from semester to semester or year to year. By supporting students who have overcome academic and personal struggles, we aim to help them ensure that they can achieve their educational goals.

Winners of the Rising Stars Scholarship can use the award to pay tuition or address other costs related to their college education, including housing, books, or supplies. The deadline to apply for the Fall 2024 scholarship is September 11, 2024.
