The winner has been announced!
At Yosha Law Firm – Personal Injury Lawyers, we believe in the power of role models. As a family-operated law firm, we understand first-hand just how influential a role model can be in a young man’s life. Just as Brandon Yosha was inspired by his father Buddy Yosha, we want to hear from other young adults about their role models through our firm’s 2022 Role Model Scholarship.
We are excited to introduce the 2022 Role Model Scholarship to support those pursuing education and to honor those who have made a difference in someone’s life. In 750-1,000 words, we encourage students to answer the following prompt: Tell us about a role model in your life – what makes them so special, and how has their presence made a positive difference in your life? What valuable lessons have they taught you along the way, and how have they inspired you to be the best version of yourself? Whether it be a coach, a teacher, someone you look up to in your field of interest, or simply someone who has come through your life and inspired you to make positive changes.
One winner for the 2022 Role Model Scholarship will be selected to receive $1,000 towards their education. The recipient will be announced in the month following the deadline.

Congratulations to Ms. Victoria Dinov
We had over 120 impressive candidates submit for this year’s Role Model Scholarship. We’re excited to announce Ms. Victoria Dinov as our 2022 Role Model Scholarship winner.
We were not only blown away by Victoria’s academic achievements as a student of UC Berkeley but we were also moved by the essay she submitted. Victoria eloquently articulated the impact her father has in her life. Her statement struck a strong chord in all of our hearts.
“Because of my dad, I am a believer in the good in our world. Because of my dad, I work hard to achieve my goals.” – Victoria Dinov
Brandon Yosha says the same about his father, Buddy Yosha.
