$10,000 in Undergraduate Scholarships Across the U.S.
The Spiggle Law Firm, based in Alexandria, Virginia, is proud to announce the return of its annual scholarship initiative for the 2025–2026 academic year, offering a total of $10,000 in financial support to undergraduate students across the United States.
This year’s program features two distinct scholarships—each valued at $5,000—designed to recognize students who exhibit resilience, integrity, and a drive to make a difference through their education and future careers.
This award is intended for students pursuing a future in the legal field. It supports those who demonstrate a passion for justice, public service, and legal reform, and who have shown character, perseverance, and a vision for positive impact within the justice system.
Open to non-law majors, this scholarship honors students in any other field of study who have overcome personal adversity and are actively using their education to drive positive change in their communities or professional domains.
To qualify for either scholarship, applicants must:
Be a U.S. citizen

Be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours at the time of the award
