Submit Your Application for 2024!

At the Law Office of Philip R. Nathe, we have multiple decades of experience representing clients in criminal cases and other legal matters. We understand the challenges that many families face, especially when criminal charges and other legal issues affect a person’s freedom, their ability to maintain employment, and their family relationships. In addition to protecting the rights of people who have been charged with crimes, we work to ensure that students who are planning to pursue a college education will have the resources they need.

Through the Law Office of Philip R. Nathe Scholarship, we provide an award of $1,000 to an undergraduate college student each semester. Students who receive this award may use the scholarship funds to address their educational needs, including paying for tuition, room and board, books, supplies, or other expenses. The deadline to apply for the Fall 2024 scholarship is July 10, 2024. If you have any questions about the scholarship, we encourage you to reach out to us by sending an email to scholarships@nathelaw.com.
