MIAMI – May 31, 2019 – Panter, Panter & Sampedro (PPS) is proud to announce that it has awarded three scholarships as well as sponsored the purchase of five new laptops for several high school seniors in Miami-Dade County.
Daisy Rivero was honored as the winner of Miami Killian Senior High’s annual Lorraine Silverstein Award. Named after a law studies teacher at the school, the $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a student who excels in Killian’s law studies program.
A second scholarship was awarded to Miami Palmetto Senior High School’s Albert Hernandez. The $1,500 annual scholarship award at Palmetto is based on the student’s community service and academic achievements.
The third award recipient, Katerin Cangas, was honored as an outstanding senior in the Legal Studies program at South Miami Senior High School with a $1,000 scholarship.
