The KF&B Academic Charity Grant
The KF&B Charity Grant was created to assist those as they continue their educational journey. The Tampa personal injury attorneys at the KF&B law firm understand how expensive it can be to pay for higher learning. We here at KF&B have a saying: “we make your problem our problem.” Our solution is to help lessen the burden of paying for school by awarding one applicant a $1,000 academic charity grant to go towards their educational expenses.
Eligibility
The grant is open to U.S. residents. Applicants must have been a 2024 graduating high school senior or currently enrolled student at a U.S. College or University. Being a Law Student is not a requirement.
Guidelines
KF&B wanted to hear your answer to the following question in the form of a 500-word essay:
“Who is one person that has inspired you and what characteristics do you admire most about them?”
Application Process
To apply for the $1000 KF&B Academic Grant, applicants were to fill out the form completely before by 11:59PM EST July 31st, 2024. By submitting an application you gave KF&B permission to use your name and charity grant for promotional and marketing purposes if you are a winner.
Submission Deadline
The deadline for submissions was before at 11:59PM EST July 31st, 2024.
Winner Selection
The KF&B grant committee will select a winner now that the submission deadline has been reached. The winner will be contacted no later than the first week of September 2024. The winner will have 2 weeks to respond to confirm their information or a new winner will be selected. Once a winner’s information has been confirmed KF&B will award $1000 to the student’s financial aid department at their school.

PREVIOUS GRANT WINNERS
In August 2024, Amy Dang was our well deserved winner of the KF&B Academic Charity Grant asking the question:
“Who is one person that has inspired you and what characteristics do you admire most about them?”.
Through her insightful answer, we learned that her greatest inspiration is Ken Hiltner, a Harvard-educated furniture-maker turned professor of The Climate Crisis. Now, she is pursuing a degree in environmental law.
We are honored to be a part of this noble journey to build a brighter future.
She stated that “I am continually inspired by the people and world around me to pursue my dreams and pull them into my grasp, and the KF&B Grant is an invaluable stepping stone in helping me achieve those goals. The grant will indubitably support me in continuing to fight for the environment by pursuing a career in law, protecting our world and all those who live in it.”
Thank you Amy!
In June 2022, Theodore Weymiller was awarded the KF&B Law Charity Grant for his essay on:
“What is one problem the world faces that you would like to take on, help change and how do you propose doing so?”
Theodore will apply the $1,000 grant to study business administration at Gonzaga University.
“Despite our family struggles, I embraced the challenge to get better grades. I utilized tutors and the support of my teachers at Bellarmine to refocus my goals despite the social and emotional challenges I was facing.
The KF&B Grant will help me execute this plan, by offering me a more secure education to pursue my career path as a journalist that will hope to inspire others through my writing.”
