The attorneys at Connecticut Domestic Violence Information Center are dedicated to assisting those in need. They understand the importance of giving back to the community and supporting people after experiencing something traumatic like domestic violence. To show their appreciation for everyday heroes in the community, the Connecticut Domestic Violence Information Center is proud to once again offer the Good Samaritan Scholarship for 2023. This $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a student who exemplifies the characteristics that are embodied by a good samaritan. We are looking for a student who is helpful and giving towards others. Good samaritans are sympathetic and kind; usually showing up to lend a hand at times when most others will not.
