Christopher DiBella, founding attorney of DiBella Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, is no stranger to higher education – or the costs of higher education. Chris was the first generation in his family to attend college, and he graduated from Boston University and Suffolk University Law School before practicing law. All the while, he worked hard—not only for his grades, but to pay for his schooling altogether!
Times are only getting more expensive, and that’s why Chris and his law firm decided to offer a $500 scholarship to one talented student from anywhere in the U.S. The money will go toward post-secondary education expenses, and to win it, applicants were asked to explain in an essay how going to college will help them achieve their future goals—and leave a mark on the world.
The deadline to apply was May 16, 2018; our legal team has had time to review the 918 applications. We are proud to name…
- Victoria Benitez – Hesperia, CA
- Hazell Boone – Lawrence, MA
- Cole Corbett– Salem, NH
- Alyssa Bigos – Dracut, MA
- Hodman Abshir – Boston, MA
