Kopfler & Hermann is proud to offer our Overcoming Adversity Scholarship for 2025. This award is for a student who faced a tough challenge and came out stronger. If you've overcome a serious setback and are working toward a better future, we'd love to hear your story. We encourage all eligible students to apply and share how they've grown through hardship. This scholarship is open to students currently enrolled in a trade school, college, or university program, including high school seniors planning to start one. Applicants must be legal residents of the United States and live in any of the 50 states or Washington, D.C. Preference will be given to students either from or attending secondary school in the state. Please note that all essays will be checked for AI writing. If AI writing is deemed present in the essay, the application will be denied. The candidate must submit a professional resume that lists their experience, both professional and academic. The candidate must submit a transcript from their current school. First-year college students, graduate students, or individuals who have recently transferred schools may submit an unofficial transcript from their current school, as well as the most recent official transcript from their prior school. High school students can submit proof of acceptance to their college or university. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
