Scholarship Winners 2023

Winner #1

Logan Hart
Long Valley, NJ
Indiana University

My name is Logan Hart and I am from Long Valley New Jersey. I am currently enrolled in the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, with concentrations in information systems, business analytics, and economics. I am pursuing a career in actuarial science, and working in NYC for the summer as an actuarial intern for a health consulting company. This scholarship will be monumental in helping me minimize my student loans and pay for my exam fees and study material as I work to become a credentialed actuary. Additionally, it will help me focus more on my academics, extracurriculars and social skills as I actively work multiple jobs at school to fund my education.

Outside of my professional aspirations, some of my passions include backpacking, deep-sea fishing, and snowboarding. A fun fact is that I once trekked for 2 weeks and roughly 100 miles through the rocky mountains with my scouting troop! Through the Boy Scouts, I earned my Eagle Scout designation, which is one of my proudest achievements. Scouting instilled valuable skills such as leadership and service that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Winner #2

“I cannot thank him and his team enough for their support.”

Big thanks to Mr. Jake Kimbell and his team for their assistance with my case. He helped me through an incredibly challenging part of my life, and most importantly helped navigate through the convoluted legal channels of my case. I cannot thank him and his team enough for their support.

"If you are hesitant to retain an attorney, stop stressing it - call these guys!"

I never have a problem with getting a response when I need them – which is not the case with most other firms. They really truly care about each client. As a plus, they always have positive attitudes, which matters tremendously when you are in a stressful legal situation.
