The Eskesen Law Firm has selected Alayna Rossi, a high-achieving senior from Illinois, as the recipient of its 2024 Advocacy & Justice Scholarship, recognizing her remarkable commitment to pursuing a career in forensic science and criminal justice.
Rossi, a National Honor Society member and student-athlete, demonstrated an exceptional vision for advocating on behalf of those unable to represent themselves. Her academic and extracurricular achievements positioned her as a standout candidate for the annual $1,000 scholarship, which aims to support students dedicated to justice and victim advocacy.
As a member of her high school's volleyball team and an accomplished student, Rossi will continue her educational journey at Loyola University Chicago this fall. She plans to major in Forensic Science with a specific focus on Criminal Justice, reflecting her passion for understanding scientific methodologies that can support legal processes and help vulnerable populations.
The scholarship represents more than financial support; it highlights the legal community's investment in nurturing future professionals committed to justice. By recognizing young advocates like Rossi, the Eskesen Law Firm demonstrates its broader mission of supporting systemic approaches to addressing legal inequities.
For aspiring students interested in similar opportunities, the Eskesen Advocacy & Justice Scholarship will continue accepting applications for its 2025 cycle. Eligible candidates include current college students and rising high school seniors enrolled in accredited U.S. educational programs.
Rossi's selection underscores the importance of supporting emerging professionals who seek to make meaningful contributions to the justice system through interdisciplinary approaches that combine scientific expertise with legal understanding.
