Beyond Grades

2026 Beyond Grades Scholarship

At Massey Law, we understand that academic achievement is important, but success also depends on qualities that can’t be measured by test scores. Developing skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, public speaking, and more are crucial to your overall success academically as well as professionally in the future.

This is why we are proud to offer the 2026 Beyond Grades Scholarship. This scholarship aims to highlight characteristics that you have learned in your education that go beyond test scores and grades. Whether you have grown in your personality, joined organizations that have taught you life skills or how to speak  publicly, or the importance of collaboration and teamwork, we want to hear from you.

  • Application Deadline: May 1, 2026
  • Award Amount: $1,000

Eligibility

  • The scholarship is open to current high school seniors, vocational students, college students, or graduate students who are legal residents of the United States and reside in any of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. Applicants must be enrolled in a vocational program or a two- to four-year accredited post-secondary institution.
  • Employees of Massey Law, their immediate family members (including parents, children, siblings, and spouses), as well as individuals living in the same household (regardless of relationship), are not eligible to apply.
