Workplace Rights
Scholarship

At Freedman Law, LLC, we represent clients in a wide variety of employment-related cases, including discrimination, sexual harassment, non-compete issues, whistleblower rights, and more. Our firm is dedicated to helping our clients address their legal concerns and fighting for their rights in the workplace.

As part of our ongoing efforts to advocate for civil rights and the rights of employees, we are pleased to announce the Freedman Law Workplace Rights Scholarship. We are launching this initiative to aid in the education of students who are passionate about improving workers’ rights and civil rights, spreading knowledge about employment law, and making a positive impact on workers across the country. This scholarship can provide assistance for current or aspiring law school students and students who are pursuing careers in other fields.

We recognize the importance of higher education, and our goal is to provide financial assistance to a student who is just as passionate about employment law and civil rights as we are. The winner of this award will receive $1,000, which may be used for tuition, textbooks, school supplies, room and board, and any other academic expense.

All materials must be submitted by 11:59PM on March 10, 2025.
