Kozyak Summer Fellowship Fund<\/h4>\n

The Kozyak Summer Fellowship (KSSF) continues the legacy of the Kozyak Minority Mentoring Foundation, which for more than 15 years awarded $5,000 summer fellowships to minority and first-generation law students. These fellowships support students enrolled at Florida law schools or Florida residents attending law schools out of state.<\/p>\n

KSSF provides financial assistance for unpaid internships with judges, nonprofit organizations, or government agencies offering opportunities that align with values of service, diversity, and fairness. Each fellow is paired with one or more mentors, gaining meaningful legal experience and building valuable professional connections.<\/p>\n

In 2026, KSSF anticipates awarding 10\u201312 fellowships to outstanding students committed to making a difference in the legal profession.<\/p>\n

    Why Scholarships Matter<\/h4>\n

    Scholarships are one of the best ways to pay for college because they provide \u201cfree money\u201d that never has to be repaid, unlike student loans. They can significantly reduce the financial burden on families and help students graduate with little or no debt, setting them up for long-term financial stability. Scholarships open doors to top universities and programs that might otherwise be out of reach, regardless of a student\u2019s financial background. By easing money worries, scholarships allow students to focus on their studies instead of working long hours, which can lead to better grades and a higher chance of graduating on time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Jump to Public Scholarships” style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”white” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:%23list”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Establish a Scholarship Fund” style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”white” align=”center” css_animation=”none” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmiamifoundation.org%2Ffordonors%2F|title:For%20Donors”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Give to a Scholarship Fund” style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”white” align=”center” css_animation=”none” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fmiamifoundation.org%2Fgive-now%2F”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1766093535393{padding-top: 45px !important;}” row_title=”pics”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n
