Menzer Law Firm | 1. Be a high school senior or current freshman or sophomore undergraduate | View Details | 05/31/2021 | No | We Value Education & Understand the Financial Struggle To become a practicing lawyer, you have to go to law school and graduate with a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. And that’s after completing a bachelor’s degree. It’s impossible to be an attorney and not see the value in higher education. We wouldn’t be able to do what we love without it. We also understand the mounting student debt crisis. As of 2020, U.S. student loan borrowers owe $1.7 trillion in debt, and the average student loan debt for individuals between 25 and 34 years old is $33,817.56. That average increases for older borrowers. In Hawaii alone, residents owe $4.1 billion in student loan debt, with an average of $34,687 each. One study found the average student loan payment is $385 per month. Many college graduates must carry significant student loan debt for years. At Menzer Law Firm, we can empathize with the tough decisions you have to make, including when to take on debt or give up an educational opportunity. That’s why we want to do our part to help students from Maui. Website URL: https://maui.menzerlawfirm.com/about-us/support-the-maui-community-scholarship/ | |
