Rizio Lipinsky Heiting’s $10,000 Law School Scholarship

To formally celebrate the launch of Rizio Lipinsky Heiting, our team of Northern and Southern California based plaintiffs’ attorneys couldn’t be more excited to provide financial support to a future attorney of tomorrow. As such, our California Consumer law firm is thrilled to announce that we’re accepting submissions from the next generation of attorneys for our inaugural Rizio Lipinsky Heiting $10,000 Law School Scholarship!

Open to college graduates who have been accepted into law school for the 2019-2020 academic year, and to current law students, who will still be enrolled in the 2019-2020 year, we are accepting submissions for the Rizio Lipinsky Heiting $10,000 Law School Scholarship through May 1, 2019.

It is our hope that by helping a deserving student to offset the significant financial demands of attending law school, the winner will be able to take full advantage of all opportunities for hands-on legal experience, while attending law school. Whether through an externship, work at a legal clinic, or joining the mock trial team, we aim to lesson financial stress for one of our next generation of attorneys, so that they are able to gain real-world experience in the practice of lawyering.

How to Apply for the Rizio Lipinsky Heiting Law School Scholarship

To apply for the scholarship, future lawyers must submit an essay of 1,000 words or less, explaining why you’re pursuing a career in law, what you hope to accomplish upon graduation, and why it is important to you to fight for the rights of your fellow citizens. All submissions will be reviewed by Rizio Lipinsky Heiting attorneys and senior management, with the winner selected and notified by June 15, 2019. More information about the Rizio Lipinsky Heiting Law School Scholarship including where to send essays and answers to FAQs can be found here.

According to Rizio Lipinsky Heiting Founding Partner and Senior Trial Attorney Greg Rizio “Micha, Daren and I couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate the launch of our statewide consumer law firm than by helping a future lawyer become a skilled advocate for others. We have dedicated our careers to restoring justice to those who have been seriously injured or harmed through personal injuries, civil rights violations, or unjust employment practices. Unfortunately, there are countless victims of these injustices each year. By providing this financial support to a deserving recipient, we can play a role in assuring that those who will need an attorney in the future will have one more passionate, fearless, attorney eager to fight for them.”

All monies awarded through the scholarship will be paid directly to the winning student’s law school for tuition. The Rizio Lipinsky Heiting $10,000 Law School Scholarship is open to U.S. citizens only.
