2026 Seth Okin Good Deeds Scholarship
Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipient. Find out more about our previous winners here!
As a dedicated advocate for his clients, Seth Okin understands that true service extends far beyond the courtroom. Based in Maryland, Seth’s commitment to his community is fueled by his roles as a father and an animal lover. Whether he is standing up against animal cruelty or championing initiatives that improve the lives of local children, his daily work is rooted in the belief that we all have a responsibility to leave our communities better than we found them.
However, in an era of endless global needs, deciding where to focus our charitable energy can be a challenge. From disaster relief to public health and local homelessness, the “right” way to help isn’t always obvious. By renewing the 2026 Seth Okin Good Deeds Scholarship, Seth aims to keep the conversation alive regarding what it truly means to serve. This $1,000 award is designed to support a student who isn’t just seeking a degree, but seeking a way to build a meaningful life of activism.
