2026 Triumph Through Family Adversity Scholarship

Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipient, find out more about our previous winners here! 

It takes a lot of strength, resilience, and determination in order to endure the challenges and hardships that come with caring for an injured family member. Many are put in the position of caretaker, chauffeur, scheduler, and advocate in order to serve their loved ones’ best interests. We at Block understand it takes a village and believe these efforts deserve to be recognized, which is why we are proud to announce our Triumph Through Family Adversity scholarship.

This scholarship is meant to offer students an opportunity to manage the financial hardship associated with their educational pursuits so that they can remain committed both to their studies and the needs of their family. By sharing your story, you may be able to win $1000 to go towards your education. To apply for this opportunity before May 31, 2026, visit the scholarship page on our website.
