At Heuser & Heuser, LLP, we believe that continuing education or joining the military creates smarter, more capable, and more disciplined members of our society which, in turn, aids the community at large. However, we understand that finances can play a big role in whether or not a young person gets the opportunity to pursue trade school, or join the military.
That’s why our firm decided to create the Practical Future Scholarship. While education does come with a price, we strongly believe that every person should have the chance to better themselves. We want to help provide that chance by awarding up to $3,000 in scholarships to three Southern Colorado residents who will be enlisting in the military or attending a trade school.
