At Pond Lehocky Giordano, we believe that education has the power to change lives. When a dedicated student pursues higher education, they open a world of possibilities for not only their own future, but the future of their community. As one of the nation’s leading law firms in workers’ compensation, injury, and disability matters, we understand the importance of advocacy, empowerment, and opportunity. In that spirit, we’re proud to introduce the latest iteration of our annual scholarship program: Pond Lehocky Giordano’s 25 Days of Scholarships.
About Pond Lehocky Giordano’s 25 Days of Scholarships
Our 25 Days of Scholarships is a nationwide scholarship initiative that will award 25 students across the country a $1,000 scholarship each to support their educational journey. Whether you’re attending a two-year college, four-year university, trade school, or any other accredited educational program, this scholarship is designed to help reduce financial barriers and allow you to focus on what matters most – your education and your future.
Over 25 days starting in June, we will be spotlighting and awarding a deserving student each day with a $1,000 scholarship. Each recipient will be highlighted on our website and social media to celebrate their ambition, goals, and community spirit. Although the final deadline for applications is on June 15th, 2025, we will start announcing winners on June 2nd, so we encourage you to submit your application before then!

Why We Created the 25 Days of Scholarships
At Pond Lehocky Giordano, our mission extends far beyond the courtroom. Every day, we advocate for the injured, the disabled, and the voiceless – those who are often overlooked or ignored. Through the 25 Days of Scholarships program, we aim to extend this advocacy to the academic world by helping students take a step toward a brighter future.
This initiative is grounded in three core values:
Empowerment: Just as we empower our clients to stand up for their rights, we want to empower students to pursue education without the weight of financial strain.
Community: We believe strong communities are built through opportunity, and that includes access to quality education.
Service: Being a leader in the community ultimately means being a good neighbor. Supporting students is an investment not just in individuals, but in the future of our society.
By launching the 25 Days of Scholarships, we are reinforcing our commitment to making a difference – one student and one story at a time.
Our Legacy of Giving Back
The 25 Days of Scholarships is just one example of Pond Lehocky Giordano’s ongoing efforts to uplift and support communities across the U.S. From sponsoring local events to advocating for stronger worker protections, our team is deeply involved in initiatives that reflect our mission to fight for the underdog.
Our attorneys and staff come from diverse backgrounds and understand firsthand the power of education and opportunity. That’s why we’re committed to using our platform to open doors for others.
In past years, we’ve proudly supported:
- Local youth organizations and mentorship programs
- Pro bono legal services for underserved populations
- Community food drives, school supply donations, and volunteer initiatives
Our annual 25 Days of Giving serves as the best example of our charitable ethos. Every December, we donate time and money to 25 of our favorite charities (chosen by our partners, attorneys, staff, and clients) and highlight them on our website and social media channels. Check out our blog to learn more!
The 25 Days of Scholarships builds upon this legacy of giving, furthering our goal to support hardworking individuals who are shaping the future.
Join Us in Celebrating Hard-Working Students
Every scholarship recipient will be featured as part of our 25 Days of Scholarships spotlight series, which will be shared across our website and social media platforms. These stories aim to inspire others and highlight the power of education.
If you’re a student with a story to tell and a dream to pursue, we invite you to apply. Together, we can help alleviate your financial burdens and turn aspirations into achievements.
