The Odierno Law Firm is Granting a $15,000 Scholarship To Commemorate Brianna's Law

MELVILLE, N.Y. - March 15, 2024 - PRLog -- The Odierno Law Firm has announced the second annual Brianna Lieneck Memorial Scholarship Award. This annual scholarship aims to recognize and support a female student-athlete currently in her senior year of high school in Nassau or Suffolk County, New York, who is planning to pursue higher education at a 4-year University or Community College in the Fall of 2024. The chosen recipient will receive a one-time tuition award of $15,000, directly paid to their enrolled institution.

In 2005, Brianna tragically lost her life in a boating accident at the age of 11, leading to the establishment of Brianna's Law. This comprehensive boater education law mandates all power boaters in New York State to complete an eight-hour boating safety course.
Brianna, a vibrant and exceptional young athlete, had a passion for various sports, with softball being a particular favorite. She embodied values such as hard work, teamwork, and dedication, excelling not only on the field but also as a diligent student.

The Brianna Lieneck Memorial Scholarship is designed to empower and uplift female student athletes who have demonstrated exceptional skill, commitment, and passion in their respective sports and studies. To be considered for this memorial scholarship, interested and qualified candidates can submit a 500-word essay to scholarship@o2law.com. The essay should highlight how the candidate embodies Brianna's qualities and outline a hardship or disadvantage they have overcome.

Scott Odierno, Esq., expressed the firm's satisfaction in annually awarding this scholarship, stating "We are delighted to present this scholarship for the second year in a row. It is integral to our firm to uplift and serve the Long Island community. It's fulfilling to provide direct support to outstanding students."
