Eskew Law’s Undergrad Scholarship

Eskew Law Scholarship for Children of Convicted Felons

The application submission period for the 2025 Children of Convicted Felons Scholarship is now closed. We will reopen submissions in the spring of 2026!

We cannot understate the significance of continuing education. Unfortunately, there are many children whose life experiences potentially jeopardize the educational opportunities available to them.

Children are our greatest resource. It is of the utmost importance that as a nation, we invest in the future of all children. We must consider those whose futures are at risk due to unfavorable circumstances at home.

For this reason, Eskew Law is proud to offer a $1,500 scholarship for college-bound or current college students who are children of convicted felons.

To apply, write a 500-word essay sharing your story. Answer the prompt: How has being a child of a convicted felon impacted your life and what has your parent’s conviction taught you?

Once all submissions have been received, the Indianapolis criminal defense attorneys at Eskew Law will review each entry and award a $1,500 scholarship to the one applicant who best demonstrates how being a child of a convicted felon has influenced their life and what they have learned as a result of their parent’s conviction. The scholarship can be applied towards any school-related costs, such as tuition, boarding, school supplies, or books.
