“It becomes difficult to freely and quickly act in obedience to our Lord and Savior when we find ourselves working to set ourselves free financially. As a result, this scholarship allows for the freedom to immediately respond to God’s calling.”
Douglas Johnson, Ph.D. in Communication, 2022 Scholarship Recipient
“I was paired with Mr. Brandon Delfunt, a district attorney near the Atlanta area. He has given me very solid advice, in regard to law school and personally. He told me about how crazy everything can seem in law school with all the assignments and the extra-curricular activities that can pile up. But he also told me that he is glad that he did it. This was very encouraging for me personally because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed. I know the day will come when I look back and am glad that I did it, as well.”
Carter Budwell, Mentoring Program Mentee
