With summer in the air here in Nebraska, the legal team at Bottlinger Law L.L.C. is becoming more and more excited reveal the winner of our $2,500 national scholarship! Since the April 15, 2020 deadline, we have been busy reading through over 1,820 essays that we received from outstanding students from all around the county! After an engaging review process, we have selected 5 finalists for the 3^rd annual “Bowties and Books” Scholarship!

Without further adieu, here are the finalists of the “Bowties and Books” Scholarship:

Elijah K. – Sherman Oaks, CA
Isabel R. – San Diego, CA
Sha’lise O. – Omaha, NE
Grace C. – Newbury Park, CA
Olivia A. – Sacramento, CA

From everyone at Bottlinger Law L.L.C., a warm congratulations! These creative students produced detailed essays that answered one simple, yet big question about their lives:

• Why did you choose the college you will be attending and how do you hope that school will influence your future?

Your essays were both personal and thoughtful looks at the future and a fascinating glimpse into your unique journeys. Attorney Jason Bottlinger and his wife began this scholarship as a way to reward hardworking students and empower them to be the future leaders of their communities. This begins with a strong educational foundation and each of you has demonstrated a commitment to higher learning. Reading your essays has been an absolute joy to the team at Bottlinger Law L.L.C. and we cannot wait to crown one of you the winner on June 10, 2020. In the meantime, feel free to read past winner’s essays and please keep an eye on our blog and Facebook for further announcements.

And to the rest of you who applied, thank you for sharing your story with us and the best of luck with your future endeavors!
