At Franchise,Law, we believe in investing in the future, and that future is shaped by dedicated, visionary students. Our scholarship is designed to support remarkable individuals who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, entrepreneurial spirit, and the potential to make a significant impact in their chosen fields.

My name is Lorena Gonzalez, and I am proud to be an international student from Valladolid, Spain, completing a double major in Psychology and Business Management at Shaw University, where I will graduate this year.
Throughout my time at Shaw, I have had the privilege of serving as a Research Assistant Leader, taking part in multiple projects that have strengthened my passion for learning, teamwork, and academic excellence. I am also the captain of the women’s soccer team and a member of the university bowling team, both of which have taught me leadership, perseverance, and discipline.
Every challenge and achievement during these years — from research deadlines to championship games — has shaped me into a more resilient and purpose-driven person. Shaw University has given me not just an education, but a community that has become a second home. As I prepare to graduate, I carry forward every lesson of growth, courage, and collaboration to continue making a positive impact wherever life leads me.
Receiving the 2025 Franchise.Law Entrepreneur Scholarship is more than just an award — it is a powerful reminder that dedication, hard work, and faith in one’s goals truly make a difference.
As an international student far from home, I have faced challenges that tested my strength and determination. This scholarship represents more than financial support; it symbolizes encouragement, recognition, and belief in my potential. I am deeply thankful to Franchise.Law for investing in students who dream big and strive to lead with purpose.
This honor motivates me to keep moving forward — to lead with passion, continue growing, and inspire others to chase their dreams with courage and persistence.
