Jessica Hughes has been named as the 2025 recipient of the Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship from Skarin Law Group. Ms. Hughes is attending High Point University School of Law and intends to practice family law upon graduation. The scholarship program was established to recognize law students who demonstrate educational excellence, leadership qualities, and a strong commitment to community service.

The $1,000 scholarship award can be applied toward tuition, fees, books, or other educational expenses, providing financial support to deserving students pursuing legal careers. Scholarship applicants are required to submit essays detailing their contributions to local communities, ensuring that recipients have demonstrated tangible impact beyond their academic achievements. This selection process aligns with the scholarship's mission to identify students who embody the values of service and leadership.

Jessica Hughes distinguished herself through her founding of Fostering a Better Home, an initiative driven by her passion for child advocacy. In her scholarship application, Hughes wrote, "I created this initiative to raise awareness about the needs of children in the foster care system and to advocate for reforms that would ensure more stable, compassionate care." Through this platform, she has coordinated numerous events for foster families, including seasonal drives and family gatherings that provide essential support and connection for vulnerable youth populations.

Her work with Fostering a Better Home has already made significant improvements in the lives of children throughout Davidson County and North Carolina. The scholarship recognition from Skarin Law Group, a family law firm located in Southern California, underscores the importance of supporting future legal professionals who demonstrate both academic promise and genuine commitment to serving their communities. As family attorneys, the Skarin Law Group team expressed pride in supporting such a deserving individual as she continues her legal education and prepares for a career dedicated to family law and child advocacy.
