Wayne, NJ—Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Stevens & Cammarota, LLP, a New Jersey-based law firm dedicated to empowering individuals through legal guidance and advocacy, is proud to announce the launch of Jack Scura Scholarship 2025, an annual scholarship designed to support exceptional students with disabilities pursuing higher education in New Jersey.
The Jack Scura Fund continues to honor the legacy of John J. Scura III, a dedicated attorney with a passion for helping others overcome adversity. This year’s scholarship seeks to reward high-achieving students who have demonstrated resilience, academic excellence, and community involvement despite facing physical or mental challenges.
Applications are now officially open for the 2025 cycle, and students must meet the scholarship eligibility criteria. This includes being a high school senior, undergraduate or graduate student with a minimum GPA of 3.2 and attending a New Jersey College or University. They must also have a documented disability and demonstrate their commitment to community service.
The scholarship is offered to a deserving student and awards financial help to offset the costs of tuition, books, and other educational expenses. The law firm hopes to uplift this student and help them on their academic and professional journey.
“The Jack Scura Fund Scholarship was established in honor of our firm’s founder and reflects our enduring commitment to championing the underdog and serving those in need,” said John Scura, representative of Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Stevens & Cammarota, LLP. “This scholarship supports exceptional students with disabilities who are pursuing higher education, helping them overcome barriers and achieve their academic and professional goals.”
Those interested in this scholarship can find additional information about eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and application instructions on the Jack Scura Fund page, where they can also watch a video detailing the scholarship.
Students with disabilities often encounter financial and systemic barriers that prevent them from accessing higher education, and this scholarship is designed to uplift those students who not only persevere through personal adversity but also work to make life better for others as well.
It’s also worth noting that this year’s application process has been fully digitalized to streamline access and encourage wider participation. Those interested in applying can do so by July 31, 2025, with the required documents (listed on the eligibility page), and the recipients of this scholarship will be announced in early fall.
The firm also encourages teachers, school counselors, and community leaders to share the opportunity with eligible students and help spread awareness about the scholarship. “We’ve seen firsthand how life-changing this support can be,” said a spokesperson for the firm. “We want to hear from students who are passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference.”
Past recipients of this scholarship have gone on to pursue degrees in fields such as healthcare, law, social work, and education, often returning to serve communities that supported them through their educational and professional journeys.
The Jack Scura Scholarship exemplifies the law firm’s broader mission of empowering individuals and their families through legal support and community engagement. With decades of combined experience, Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Stevens, and Cammarota, LLP practices in areas such as bankruptcy, personal injury, estate planning, and business litigation.
