Scholarship Program

Fifteen high school seniors have been awarded $2,500 scholarships towards their college education through the ninth annual Michael A. DeMayo Scholarship Program.

The program was open to 23 counties that our law firm serves. North Carolina counties included Mecklenburg, Gaston, Catawba, Union, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Lincoln, Rowan, Caldwell, Stanly, Iredell, Alexander, Burke, Robeson, Scotland, Richmond, Anson and Cumberland. South Carolina counties included York, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro and Dillon. Since 2003, our firm has awarded $200,000 in scholarships to 82 high school seniors in North and South Carolina.

This year, our firm’s scholarship committee selected students based on their school and community involvement, grades, SAT scores and a presentation (video, PowerPoint, brochure, website or essay) that encouraged fellow teens to abstain from underage drinking and driving and highlighted the dangers of drinking and driving.

We received a record number of applications this year were very impressed with the presentations we received from so many creative and intelligent young people. It was very obvious that the students clearly understand the potentially devastating consequences of drinking and driving and wanted to try alternative approaches to reach their classmates.
