Allen & Allen honors 2 Henrico students

The students were selected from a pool of applicants from across Virginia and will attend schools across the country, including Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the United States Coast Guard Academy. The scholarship program offers students $2,000 scholarships to continue their education.

The Henrico students to earn the scholarship are Bennett Herod (who will attend Virginia Tech) and William Bremer (who will attend James Madison University).

“We’re proud to offer scholarships to another class of exceptional students,” said Jason Konvicka, president of the Allen Law Firm. “Year after year, we’ve been amazed by the passion, drive, and motivation of the students we’ve met through the George E. Allen Academic Scholarship. We know these $2,000 scholarships are going to help continue their successes moving forward, and we look forward to seeing all that the 2024 class accomplishes.”

A dinner was held in honor of the winners May 7 at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.

Now in its 33rd year, the George E. Allen Academic Scholarship has awarded students throughout Allen & Allen’s operating areas with more than $650,000 since its inception. The scholarship was created to honor the firm’s founder, George E. Allen, Sr., who overcame personal hardship to put himself through college and law school.
