The Sibert Law story

Scholarship oppoRTUNITIES through SL+

We’re helping shape the future

In 2016, Sibert Law Group marked a major milestone of 10 years in business. Over the years we have worked with many clients that generously give of themselves every day. Our clients continue to inspire us and we believe in spreading the love. In honor of their example and because we believe in being servant leaders, we created the SibertLaw Scholarship Fund.

SL+ allows you to play a role in shaping the next generation of teachers, engineers, ministers, journalists, and maybe even attorneys. A portion of each dollar that you spend will go towards funding a scholarship for a deserving student (or two, or three). Beginning in fall 2017, we awarded our first SL+ scholarship. With your help, we can fund future scholarships. Thank you for helping us spread the love.
