Freedom Scholarship Winners

The law firm of Brooks, LeBoeuf, Bennett, Foster & Gwartney created the Freedom Scholarship essay contest to assist students in achieving their educational goals while encouraging patriotism. Through the years, we have been fortunate to meet some of the brightest high school students in our area. We are very proud of their accomplishments and are excited to see what the future holds for each of them as they enter college and pursue their chosen careers.
