Torch held aloft, the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor reflects America’s promise to immigrants. Freedom, fueled by democracy, beckons newcomers from around the world. They come to our shores filled with hope that, with perseverance and hard work, they will be able to fulfill their American Dream.
Lemberg Law’s Managing Attorney, Sergei Lemberg, understands the call of Lady Liberty. He arrived to the U.S. at the age of 15 as a refugee from the former Soviet Union. He attended college at Brandeis University and law school at the University of Pennsylvania. Now, as one of the top consumer attorneys in the U.S., he has achieved his American Dream.
Because Sergei Lemberg understands the challenges of being a newcomer to America, Lemberg Law wants to give a hand up to immigrants who dedicated to pursuing higher education. The firm is offering a $1,250 scholarship to an immigrant student inspired to learn more about the U.S. legal system.
Applications for the Lemberg Law American Dream Scholarship are due by 11:59 p.m. EST on March 31, 2018. Apply now!
