At Pond Lehocky Giordano, our 25 Days of Scholarships campaign celebrates students whose determination, ambition, and service-minded goals reflect the values at the heart of our firm. Today, we are proud to highlight one of this year’s outstanding recipients: Jadon Hewitt, an incoming architecture student at Thomas Jefferson University, Class of 2030.
Originally from Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, Jadon brings a remarkable drive to everything he pursues. Raised in a single-parent household, he has consistently excelled academically while juggling responsibilities at home, cultivating hobbies, and exploring a wide range of skills. From 2D and 3D animation to coding, video editing, and drawing, Jadon is self-taught in numerous creative and technical disciplines. He also plays soccer and approaches every new challenge with focus and enthusiasm.
Jadon is preparing to begin his studies in architecture this fall. His dream is to one day launch his own architectural firm dedicated to the sustainable development of third-world countries like his home nation. With the additional costs that come with being an international student and the five-year structure of his program, he will be relying on scholarships to make this dream a reality.
In his video submission, Jadon spoke with clarity about the meaning of this opportunity and the responsibility it carries. “I am beyond grateful for this opportunity the Lord has presented to me through this scholarship from Pond Lehocky Giordano. It is proof that perseverance, commitment, and relentless hard work will always be rewarded. I will honor this investment by continuing to strive for excellence as I pursue college education in Architecture, fulfilling my dream of making a lasting, positive impact on the world. Thank you for your kind support!”
Jadon’s vision doesn’t stop at individual success. He’s determined to use his education to benefit entire communities and countries through sustainable design. That sense of purpose and commitment to service perfectly captures what the 25 Days of Scholarships program is all about.
About the 25 Days of Scholarships
Launched in 2025, the 25 Days of Scholarships program is a nationwide initiative awarding 25 students each with a $1,000 scholarship. Open to students attending two-year colleges, four-year universities, trade schools, or other accredited programs, the campaign aims to help reduce financial barriers so that recipients can focus on what matters most: their education and their future.
Each day throughout the month, we spotlight one deserving recipient on our website and social media channels. These students are not only academically capable but also driven by purpose, community spirit, and a desire to serve others — just like Jadon.
Celebrating the Future
We are honored to support Jadon as he takes his first steps into architecture and into a future dedicated to building stronger, more sustainable communities. His journey reminds us that when opportunity meets preparation, incredible things can happen.
Congratulations, Jadon. We can’t wait to see what you create.
