In 2006, Hill Ward Henderson marked its 20th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, we did not honor the institution but rather its core - the people who make it up and the community that has supported it. A few short months after proposing the idea, our firm had endowed a $100,000 scholarship fund, primarily through attorney, staff and client giving. This fund continues to grow significantly through annual private and firm contributions.

The Hill Ward Henderson scholarship honors need-based high school seniors with an accomplished academic record, strong character and demonstrated commitment to the community.

We are proud of the wonderful young recipients of our first seven awards:

2010 - Taylor Phaneuf, University of Florida

2010 - Anisha Kesarwani, Florida Pre-Paid Tuition

2009 - Steven W. Haigler, University of Florida

2009 - Jocelyn Macho, Florida Pre-Paid Tuition

2008 - Erin McDonald, University of Florida

2007 - Ashley Herron, Florida State University

2006 - Courtney Williams, Florida State University

It is our firm’s goal on an annual basis, to provide at least one full four-year scholarship, and to couple these gifts with mentoring programs.

High school seniors from Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties in Florida may apply by filing out the application provided at the link below and delivering it to their high school guidance counselors by March 1st of each year.

With this scholarship, our firm hopes to positively impact the lives of deserving young men and women and encourage their continued growth and success.
