James A. and Anne M. Law Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship has been established to honor the memory of James and Anne Law.

This scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating high school senior who resides in the City of Wayne, Michigan.

Applicants will be evaluated on their record of accomplishments in the following areas (in no particular order):

  • Academics
  • Athletics
  • Work
  • Other activities (e.g., extracurricular school activities)

Keep in mind, "accomplishment" does not mean "award-winning."  It refers to the extent to which the student's record demonstrates these attributes:

Hard Work - The student who shows up and puts in the extra effort - the student who the teacher would say is at the "head of the class" as far as how hard they work, the athlete who is first at practice and runs an extra lap.

Perseverance - The student who may have struggled in an introductory course, but challenged himself or herself to take the advanced course anyway.  A student who failed to make the team as a junior but who worked hard to earn a spot as a senior demonstrates the kind of qualities that this scholarship would like to reward.

Teamwork - The student who has demonstrated success as a team member - whether in the classroom, in the workplace, or on the playing field.  Valued behaviors include leadership, but also sacrifice.

Attitude - The student who displays a positive attitude - one who has a sense of humor amidst adversity, who is humble, and who is a friend to all.

Potential - The student who will continue to demonstrate all of the above qualities throughout their college career and into their future.  The person who has a clear plan for their future and the tenacity to achieve it.
