Law Firm Awards Scholarship To Future Doctor In Dearborn

DEARBORN, MI — A Dearborn graduate with a dream of serving the less fortunate as a doctor is one step closer to reaching his goals after receiving a scholarship from a local law firm.

Lusk Albertson, a Michigan-based education law firm, has awarded its “LAunch Scholarships” to four graduating high school students, each receiving $2,500 from the firm to assist with college costs. Lusk Albertson established the Scholarships to recognize high academic achievement, community involvement, and exceptional leadership qualities exemplified by high school seniors within a school district represented by the firm.

This fall, Marwan Bazzi will be attending the University of Michigan as a student in the college of Literature, Science and the Arts. He is interested in working on “any research that might play a role in the betterment of society,” and dreams of becoming a Pediatric Oncologist or Cardiologist.

In addition to an impressive academic record, he has already built an impressive legacy of community service. As a student at Dearborn High, Bazzi has personally organized American Red Cross blood drives that collected over 100 pints of blood, volunteered at Disability Dances which provided social opportunities for youth with disabilities, served as a tutor to help students excel on standardized tests, is a member of the Key Club and Anti-Bullying Club, and earned varsity letters in track and football.

“Every year, our team is left speechless by these amazing students. They each exemplify excellence in the classroom and within the halls of their high schools. But this year’s winners have really set themselves apart with their commitment to their communities,” Kevin Sutton, Partner, Lusk Albertson said. “The LAunch Scholarship underscores our firm-wide dedication to supporting and celebrating public education; the amazing students, the committed faculty, the dynamic administrators, and the supportive boards of education.”

Since 2012, Lusk Albertson has awarded more than $35,000 in scholarships to high school seniors. This year, the firm received more than 300 applications from highly-qualified students throughout Michigan.
