Alayna Rossi, a senior at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School in Illinois, has been named the 2024 recipient of the Eskesen Advocacy & Justice Scholarship. This annual award honors students dedicated to advocating for the unjustly injured and provides a $1,000 award to support their educational pursuits.

Rossi is set to continue her educational journey at Loyola University Chicago this fall, where she plans to major in Forensic Science with a specific focus on Criminal Justice. Her academic pursuits are complemented by her active participation in her school's volleyball team, showcasing her ability to balance athletic and scholarly commitments.
The Eskesen Advocacy & Justice Scholarship represents an important opportunity for students passionate about justice and advocacy. By supporting emerging scholars like Rossi, the scholarship aims to encourage young individuals who demonstrate potential to make significant contributions in fields related to legal and social justice.
The scholarship program is open to students enrolled in accredited U.S. college or university programs and rising high school seniors.
