“Our partners and staff were so impressed by the essays and qualifications of the applicants for our first scholarship program that we were inspired to offer it again in 2023,” said Frank Petro, one of the firm’s founding partners. “In fact, we decided to broaden our commitment to higher education by offering the scholarship to include Rutgers Law School students in Newark, as well as Camden. Susan and I are grateful for the opportunities we have been afforded thanks to the education we received at Rutgers Law School,” he added, referring to his wife, Susan Petro, the firm’s managing partner and a fellow Rutgers Law School alumni. “We are excited to help make that same dream a reality for another New Jersey student.”
