Blustein, Shapiro, Frank & Barone, LLP has recently established a scholarship fund at the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan to support the needs of students who are interested in pursuing a career in the legal field.
The Blustein, Shapiro, Frank & Barone Scholarship Fund will award at least one $500 scholarship per year to a student graduating from Goshen, Middletown, or Pine Bush high schools. As the fund grows over time, the amount of the scholarship award and/or the number of available scholarships awarded each year is expected to increase.
Interested students can apply for the scholarship through the Community Foundation’s online portal. A committee of BSF&B attorneys will review the applications each year, and select a recipient based on the quality of his or her application responses.

“We all recognize that the increasing costs of education can create hardships that students struggle to overcome. We want to do our part to support those who have the potential to enrich our American judicial system. We hope others will join us in this endeavor by making contributions to the BSF&B Scholarship Fund."
