Kaplan Law Practice, LLC – Intellectual Property and Business Law Scholarship

In order to encourage the genuine interest and committed engagement to the practice of intellectual property law and/or business law, Kaplan Law Group, LLC is proud to sponsor a $1,000 scholarship opportunity open to those interested in pursuing the study of these fields of American law.

When Kaplan Law Practice LLC was founded, our team became committed to providing competent legal services to regular people at affordable rates. At the forefront of our practice is the understanding that what we do has consequences for the lives, businesses, and aspirations held by our clients.

To foster a desire to serve industrious inventors and business owners alike, our firm has created a scholarship for students who are either currently enrolled in an undergraduate or advanced degree program or who plan to enroll in a degree-granting program that promotes legal education opportunities.
