2026 Joye Law Firm scholarship winners

For the 2025-2026 academic year, Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers is proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our scholarship program. To mark this milestone, we are expanding our commitment to South Carolina students by awarding 10 scholarships to deserving high school seniors pursuing higher education.

Since launching the program during the 2005-2006 academic year, our goal has been to recognize academic achievement, leadership, community involvement, and perseverance among South Carolina’s future leaders. Over the past two decades, we have awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships to help students pursue their educational dreams.

As part of this special anniversary year, each scholarship recipient will once again have the opportunity to recognize an educator who made a meaningful difference in their academic journey. These outstanding teachers will also be honored for their dedication and impact on student success.

The 2026 scholarship recipients, their families, and honored educators will be celebrated at our annual awards banquet at the Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston on June 18, 2026.

We are grateful to all the students, parents, teachers, and school counselors who have participated in our scholarship program over the last 20 years. Their achievements continue to inspire us and reinforce the importance of investing in the next generation.

Applications for the 2026-2027 Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers Scholarship Program will open in February 2027. We look forward to continuing this tradition of supporting South Carolina students and celebrating the remarkable accomplishments of our scholarship recipients for years to come.
